CORONA VIRUS UPDATE:

Hello everyone, this is Joyce Furlong and Greg Matthews. It is with great sadness and regret that we are going to have to cancel the Lost River Bluegrass Festival for the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic. Because of the uncertainty of how the virus is going to manifest itself in the coming weeks and months, we feel it would irresponsible to expose so many people to a contagion of this magnitude. It is a heartbreaking decision, but one we felt had to be made. As sad as it is, our main concern is the well-being of everyone involved in the festival, the bands, vendors and especially you, the bluegrass community. We were gearing up for the best festival yet and we can’t tell you what a disappointment it is. We want to thank everyone for their support and understanding during this trying time and we look forward to having a big celebration in 2021.

Welcome to Merrill, Oregon, home of the Lost River Bluegrass Festival!

The City of Merrill was founded in 1894 and still epitomizes the same small town charm of that era. A community of 845 people in south central Oregon located just 5.4 miles from the California border. Farming and agriculture related businesses are the primary economy sustaining industries of the area. The main street of Merrill is lined with quaint specialty shops where customers are still greeted on a first name basis and most transactions are still sealed with a handshake. This friendly, tight knit community is considered a modern day Mayberry, a place that is safe for your children to grow up and where neighbor still watches out for neighbor. Please come and enjoy the small town atmosphere for yourself!
