Produced by the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum, ROMP is the organization’s largest fundraising event. Proceeds help fund educational programs and community outreach initiatives throughout the year.

“ROMP has always been a celebration of the connection between music and community,” said Adam Engelhardt, executive director of the Hall of Fame & Museum and ROMP Festival. “With our 2026 lineup of legendary artists and emerging voices, we are thrilled to welcome fans, both longtime attendees and newcomers, to Yellow Creek Park for an incredible festival experience.”

In addition to music performances, the festival offers onsite camping (tent and RV), food trucks, artisan vendors, and family-friendly activities. Artist-led workshops will also return, giving fans the opportunity to engage directly with performers in an intimate setting.
