The 35th Darrington Bluegrass Festival began Friday. The three-day event draws acts from around the country to the local bluegrass hotbed.
The Country Current, a bluegrass ensemble made up of sailors in the U.S. Navy, is among the featured acts this year, along with the Grascals and the Larry Stephenson Band.
Last year, about 8,000 people enjoyed the music. About the same number of people are expected this year.
The festival continues through Sunday. Tickets cost $20 on Saturday and $15 on Sunday. Kids 12 and under are admitted free with an adult. Camping is $25 per RV or tent.
The festival is held at the Darrington Bluegrass Music Park, on Highway 530, 3 miles west of town.
