The Venue

Camp Kiwanee

Bluegrass On The Bogs is produced by Old Town Road Productions and gathers camping, jams, artisan and food vendors, kids events, workshops, holistic treatments, swimming and boating around the stages.

Camp Kiwanee also publishes its own directions page at campkiwanee.com for the camp grounds.

Nestled in the heart of Hanson, Massachusetts, the festival grounds at Camp Kiwanee offer a serene escape where bluegrass melodies drift across open fields and woodland clearings. As you make your way along the winding roads toward the venue, the bustle of daily life gradually fades, replaced by the anticipation of three days filled with acoustic music and community spirit. The journey itself becomes part of the experience, with fellow travelers sharing the road, instruments in tow, all heading toward the same gathering of song and camaraderie beneath the New England sky.

For those arriving by car, the route through the scenic byways of southeastern Massachusetts provides a gentle prelude to the weekend ahead. The campgrounds unfold beside a quiet lake, where early arrivals can claim their spot among the pines and begin unpacking not just tents and chairs, but also the easygoing rhythm that defines this festival. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a returning Bogmaster, the familiar landmarks along the way signal that you are drawing closer to a place where impromptu jam sessions spring up beneath the stars.

Once you arrive, the layout of the grounds encourages wandering and discovery, from the main stage area to the shaded nooks where musicians gather to trade tunes. The sense of arrival is marked by the warm greetings of volunteers and the distant sound of banjos tuning up. Take a moment to breathe in the pine-scented air and feel the grass beneath your feet, knowing that for the next few days, this corner of Massachusetts becomes a small world unto itself, where the shared love of music and the outdoors brings everyone together.
