The experience
What's special
Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival is a gathering of bluegrass, newgrass and roots music held on the Walsh Farm in Oak Hill, New York, in the Catskill region, from July 14 to 18, 2027. Alongside the concerts the festival runs a full program of activities, including workshops and seminars, the Bluegrass Academy for Kids, open mic night, an emerging artist showcase, yoga and meditation, a best campsite contest and a Wernick Method bluegrass jam camp. Each year an Artist in Residence is named, and the 2026 holder was AJ Lee.
How it works
Full-festival camping passes (ages 18 and over, with a teen version for ages 13 to 17) include on-site camping, and a three-day non-camping pass for Thursday to Saturday includes free day parking. Senior 60-plus passes exist, day tickets go on sale February 14, and children 12 and under are free with a ticketed adult. Exchanges are permitted but there are no refunds, and the festival runs rain or shine. A free shuttle bus and free day parking operate Thursday to Sunday.
Who it suits
Grey Fox suits bluegrass fans who want to camp for the full five days, families, and musicians keen to learn, with a kids' academy, workshops, jam camp and open mic on the schedule. Visitors who prefer a bed can take the non-camping pass and stay nearby. Pets are not allowed apart from ADA service animals, and glass bottles, ground fires, firearms and fireworks are banned.

Getting there
Nearest airport ALB.
How do I get to Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. The nearest major airport is ALB, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
Amtrak serves Rensselaer, NY (Albany-Rensselaer station), about 45 minutes from the festival grounds; the official festival page directs riders to take a Pronto Taxi from the station onward to the site.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
Trailways Bus serves Cairo, NY from NYC or Albany; the official festival page names the pickup point as Karen's Flower Shoppe, 281 Main Street, Cairo, NY, about 17 miles/21 minutes from the festival, followed by a Pronto Taxi transfer to the site.
Book / infoFestival shuttle
A free shuttle bus circulates daily from the day-parking area to the ticket booth/grounds, from 10am until an hour after the last show ends. This is an internal grounds shuttle. Attendees still need one of the modes above (or a rental car) to reach the site itself.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
The festival's own directions page names Pronto Taxi specifically (not Uber/Lyft) as the local transfer option from both the Rensselaer Amtrak stop and the Cairo Trailways stop, a signal that app-based rideshare coverage this far into the Catskills is thin or unconfirmed. Treat a taxi transfer, not rideshare, as the realistic mode for the final leg from any transit stop.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Prepay via the festival's ticketing site. Attendees who want their vehicle parked at/near their campsite need a separate On-Site Vehicle Pass in addition to a festival ticket; a free day-parking lot with a shuttle to the gate is the no-vehicle-pass alternative for non-camping day visitors.
