The Boston Bluegrass Union is an all-volunteer New England-based bluegrass music association promoting and supporting bluegrass festivals, concerts, jams, and bluegrass music education throughout the Northeast.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  

Much has changed since we were all together in February of 2020. The Sheraton Framingham Hotel’s future as the Joe Val Festival venue is currently unclear. The BBU Board is actively working on arranging for a suitable venue for the next Joe Val festival, and we hope to have an announcement soon.  We are committed to continuing the Joe Val Festival, as it is a very important event for the New England bluegrass community.  Stay tuned for more info!
