sure to come to Suite 355 and visit with us, see some terrific
Showcase Bands, and participate in some incredible jams.
Check out our Showcase Band
and jam schedule.
Admission to the Suite is FREE!
Our presence is intended to increase awareness regarding our association and,
as a non-profit organization, we are NOT charging admission.

accepted. Hot dogs, beer, Wine, Water, and snacks are available in the suite

Wintergrass is a family-friendly Bluegrass music festival, with concerts
and dances on 4 different stages. There are also music education programs

of other genres of acoustic music including Gypsy jazz, Celtic music, Old-Time,
Swedish Polskas, and many more types of acoustic string music. Jam sessions
reflect the diversity of genres, with young and old alike participating in every
nook and cranny. Don't be shy! Don't leave home without your instrument. The
festival maintains a convenient Instrument Check room so that you can safely
stash your instrument while you enjoy shows.
Wintergrass takes place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel located at 900 Bellevue Way NE
in Bellevue, WA. The Hyatt has plenty of 24-hour jamming space and room for
4 stages all under one roof. Rooms at the Hyatt generally sell out months in
advance, and they sell out earlier and earlier each year.
