7,500 Record MMF attendance in 2021


29 years and counting

Named as a Kentucky Travel Industry Association’s Top 10 Summer Festivals & Event, and the Southeast Tourism Society’s Shining Example of the Year, the Master Musicians Festival — held annually in July at Somerset Community College's Festival Field in Somerset, Kentucky — is a premier summer event in the Lake Cumberland region and beyond. Our festival has remained true to its roots for nearly three decades, paying special tribute to “Master Musicians” who have devoted much of their lives to preserving their musical heritage and whose contributions have had a significant impact on their musical genre. MMF has tremendous community support, and is operated by a fulltime executive director and 12-member, all-volunteer/working board of directors.



As a non-profit organization, the Master Musicians Festival remains focused on our mission of bringing musical excellence to rural Kentucky at a low price. And we pride ourselves on being a family-friendly event: Children 12 and younger are always admitted FREE, and youth music workshops are a staple of every festival.


MMF generates a

$3 million economic impact for Pulaski County


Tickets for MMF 28 were purchased in more than half of the country’s states as well as Canada.


The Masters (and Masters-to-be) Not only is MMF known for the Master Musicians we honor each year, we’re maybe best known for booking the next big artist on the Americana, bluegrass and country music scenes. Past lineups have included:

The Avett Brothers Tyler Childers Billy Strings Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and more, before their rise to the top of the charts.
