The experience
What's special
Wintergrass is an indoor, four-day, family-friendly festival of bluegrass, old-time, Americana, roots, world and acoustic music held at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, Washington, at the end of February. Produced by the not-for-profit Acoustic Sound, it runs from Thursday February 18 to Sunday February 21, 2027, and its lineup archive reaches back to 1994. Concerts and dances fill four stages, alongside workshops, music education for kids and adults, and impromptu jams. The 2027 bill includes the Jerry Douglas Band, Sierra Hull and Della Mae.
How it works
Everything happens at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, on four stages and in meeting rooms. Shows begin at 6pm on Thursday, with Intensives that day; workshops run Friday and Saturday, and Sunday shows start at 10:30am and finish by 5pm. A weekend pass covers all four stages, dances and festival workshops, but not Intensives or youth education. Tickets go through Humanitix and are scanned at registration. Children 12 and under are admitted free. Seating is first come, first served, and there is an instrument check room.
Who it suits
Wintergrass suits acoustic music fans, working pickers and families. The organizer describes it as an open-armed event, with jam sessions in every corner of the hotel and an invitation to bring an instrument. Children get in free, and there are youth programs and a youth orchestra. Visitors who want a room at the host hotel should book early, because the organizer notes the Hyatt generally sells out months ahead.
When it runs
Wintergrass 2027 runs Thursday, February 18 to Sunday, February 21, with 60-minute sets on the Grand, Evergreen, Regency and Auditorium stages. Thursday sets start at 6:00 pm and Friday and Saturday sets start at 12:45 pm.

Getting there
How do I get to Wintergrass?
Wintergrass fills the Hyatt Regency in downtown Bellevue, so most out-of-town visitors fly into Seattle-Tacoma and take either the regional bus to the Bellevue Transit Center or an airport shuttle that runs hourly to the Bellevue hotels. From the Transit Center, the free BellHop circulator, requested through an app, covers the last stretch to the hotels, restaurants and shops. Drivers are covered too: the hotel's self-parking is free on weekends and after 8 p.m. on weekdays for those who are not staying there, which makes the Thursday evening shows and the weekend easy. Check out each of the options below.
Nearest airport SEA.
By car
The nearest major airport is SEA, 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
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
Taxis 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
Cost Self-parking: Sun-Thu overnight ~$30, complimentary self-parking Fri-Sat nights per current promotional rates; daytime self-park (Mon-Fri 6am-8pm) first 3 hours free with validation then tiered up to ~$30/10-24hrs. Valet: Sun-Thu overnight ~$40, daytime valet tiered up to ~$40/12-24hrs. No dedicated festival overflow lot found; the Hilton Bellevue (a nearby but non-Wintergrass-listed hotel) separately advertises $15/24hr overnight parking per the Bellevue Airport Shuttle's launch coverage, a cheaper overnight-parking fallback for attendees not staying there, though not an official Wintergrass-endorsed arrangement.

Camping & Accommodation
Where do most people stay?
Because the festival takes over the host hotel, sleeping there means the stages and the jam sessions are a lift ride away, but its rooms generally sell out months ahead. Other downtown Bellevue hotels hold festival-rate blocks that close in late January or early February, and restaurants (many open past midnight) and grocery stores are all within a short walk, so a nearby hotel works nearly as well. Plenty of fans arrive Wednesday night and stay through Monday. Check out each of the options below.

Downtown Bellevue has active short-term-rental inventory. February is off-peak tourism season in the Pacific Northwest, so prices and availability should be easier than for a summer festival-season event.
