Bluegrass festival

Held annually since 2006, the Bluegrass in La Roche festival brings together European and North American bands in the courtyard of the local junior high school in La Roche-sur-Foron, in the French Alps, converted into a concert site. Admission is free, a policy set from the start, and the event relies on several hundred volunteers along with free street concerts in town on Wednesday evening and Friday lunchtime.
