The annual Wichita Mountain Bluegrass Festival at Great Plains State Park uses the beautiful backdrop of Tom Steed Reservoir as the setting for multiple days of musical performances. It all begins Thursday with a Gospel Night featuring local gospel groups. The music continues on Friday evening and Saturday evening with Hanks and Company, From the Heartland, 2nd Time Around, Amber Niebruegge, Texas Country and Pecos Valley as headliners. There will also be jamming, an open mic session on Saturday at 10am and a band scramble. Make a weekend of this event and enjoy the natural trails, boating and fishing available in the park. All of the fun is free, and visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and sunscreen.
