Spring in DC starts to pick up, and one of the more unique events on the calendar is the Bourbon & Bluegrass Festival happening May 2–3, 2026, at President Lincoln’s Cottage. Set on the historic grounds just off Rock Creek Church Road, the weekend brings together a solid mix of bluegrass and folk talent, with Alison Brown headlining both days. Saturday’s lineup also features Jake Blount and Split String Soup, while Sunday keeps things going with Hubby Jenkins and Goldbug Revival. It’s a laid-back setup—live music, good atmosphere, and a chance to take in a DC landmark that doesn’t always get this kind of spotlight.
