Bluegrass Heritage FoundationLone Star Fest is presented by the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization whose mission is to preserve the heritage of bluegrass music in America and to promote bluegrass music in Texas.

In addition to presenting live musical performances, workshops, and outreach, the Foundation operates the Play It Forward! Instrument Lending Program. The program helps foster musical skills in deserving young people by providing free loans of bluegrass musical instruments such as mandolins, fiddles, banjos, and guitars. If you know a young person who wants to learn and needs an instrument, or if you would like to donate cash or an instrument, please contact the Foundation today!

Your donations are always appreciated!

The Bluegrass Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization, run by volunteers, promoting bluegrass music in north Texas. While it’s free to get in the door to many of our events, keeping those doors open every month isn’t free.  We truly appreciate your donations so that we can continue helping to create wonderful music events and jamming opportunities for everyone.

Regular monthly support of any amount is most helpful. Many banks allow you to set an automatic monthly payment of at least $5 through your checking account bill-pay feature. We will be happy to help with this if needed.  Please contact us with any questions.

And donations of any amount can be made by clicking the link DONATE. We truly appreciate any help you can provide.  Thank you!
