MUSIC FORALL

MMF brings multi-cultural multi-generational music to thousands each year.

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 full-time executive director and 13-member, allvolunteer/working board of directors
