Whether you're a seasoned musician or a curious listener, our association offers something for everyone to enjoy. Join us as we share the joy of bluegrass music and create lasting memories together!
Mohawk Valley Gives Day!
Mark Your Calendars! One of MVBGA's most important events of the year, Mohawk Valley Gives Day, takes place on September 18. As our largest annual fundraiser, this event provides critical support for the programs, educational opportunities, and live music events that bring our community together. We encourage you to consider making a donation and helping us spread the word so we can continue growing and sharing bluegrass music throughout the Mohawk Valley.
