The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area presents the 20th Annual Pickin’ Party at the Homeplace. The event takes place at The Homeplace, an 1850s working farm located on The Trace about 14 miles north of Dover near the South Bison Range.

Both days at the festival will be emceed by Nathan Blake Lynn and Josh Coffey.

Bring your instruments and sign up for an open mic session each day. Open jamming takes place at the Tool Barn.
