Over a hundred volunteers, thousands of spectators joined 14 bands for 12th edition of the award winning Frankfort Bluegrass Festival.

An audience member hands a bouquet of flowers to members of Country Gongbang after they performed Sunday, July 14, on the Breidert Green Stage at the 2024 Frankfort Bluegrass Festival. Country Gongbang traveled from South Korea to perform at the event in Frankfort. As Steve Haberichter was driving to the airport Monday, his passenger noticed the pastoral scenery winding through the forest preserves along La Grange Road heading toward Interstate 55.

He wasn’t done yet, even though his audience was reduced to Haberichter, one of the festival’s founders and organizers. Special Consensus, introduced at one of their performances as “the festival’s house band,” performs Sunday, July 14, on the Prairie Park Stage at the 2024 Frankfort Bluegrass Festival. The band is led by banjo player Greg Cahill, right, of Oak Lawn.

Sister Sadie performs Sunday, July 15, on the Breidert Green Stage during the 2024 Frankfort Bluegrass Festival in Historic Downtown Frankfort. Organizers estimated over 10,000 people came out during the festival’s two day run. The efforts of the army of volunteers also helps ensure the festival remains free to attend while still attracting top names in the genre.
