The Banjo Players of the 2025 Blue Ox Festival

The Blue Ox Music Festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin was founded in 2015 with the vision of an intimate Bluegrass and Americana music experience. Both the festival and campgrounds are family owned and operated by a team with over 30 years of music festival experience. It is their goal to provide a fan-centric festival experience that is welcoming and approachable for people of all ages. Blue Ox features over 35 artists spread across 3 days on three stages and on-site camping. 

The 2025 lineup features a number of banjo players, a number of which are Deering Banjo and/or ProPik Artists. Be sure to get out to this festival if you are in the Eau Claire, Wisconsin area in June as the festival dates are June 26th - June 28th. See the full festival lineup here!
