Post your photos from Blueberry Bluegrass Music Festival from this past August, too! Let's share our Blueberry Memories.
Photo taken Sept. 2, a month after @blueberrymusicfest.bsky.social Bluegrass- bluegrass pals apparently have limited wardrobe choices b/c they show up in the middle of nowhere (okay, Crescent Falls, AB) wearing matching Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road t-shirt. Shirt design is appropriate for autumn!
