Award-Winning Artists Headline Second Annual Heritage Bluegrass Music Series Following Sold-Out Debut Season

Eight-concert series returns to the Vero Beach Heritage Center with nationally acclaimed performers, Florida favorites, and free admission for all.

VERO BEACH, Fla. – Following a sold-out inaugural season that filled the Vero Beach Heritage Center to standing-room-only crowds, the Vero Beach Heritage Center & Citrus Museum, in partnership with Hibiscus Vintage Music, is pleased to announce the return of the 2nd Annual Heritage Bluegrass Music Series.

Beginning October 10, 2026, the eight-concert series will once again bring outstanding bluegrass music to Historic Downtown Vero Beach. Building on the overwhelming success of last year’s debut, the 2026–2027 season features an exceptional lineup of nationally recognized touring artists, award-winning musicians, rising stars, and some of Florida’s premier bluegrass performers.

“We were overwhelmed by the response to our inaugural Bluegrass Music Series,” said Leslie McKenzie, Executive Director of the Vero Beach Heritage Center. “Every concert welcomed standing-room-only audiences, proving there is a tremendous appreciation for live bluegrass music in our community. We’re excited to bring the series back bigger and better while continuing our mission of providing affordable cultural programming that celebrates one of America’s greatest musical traditions.”

Highlights of this year’s series include nationally touring bluegrass powerhouse NewFound Road, internationally acclaimed duo Mark Johnson & Emory Lester, the return of audience favorite The Flattlanders, and a special all-star finale led by Vero Beach native and Grand Ole Opry performer Ian Lane. Together, the artists represent one of the strongest bluegrass lineups ever presented on the Treasure Coast.
