BALES & BOOTS
Bluegrass Bash
September 26, 2026
Get ready for toe-tappin' tunes and crisp fall vibes at the Bales & Boots Bluegrass Bash! On September 26, starting at 12pm on business porches throughout town, King Street St. Jacobs will come alive with the sounds of live bluegrass music, cozy autumn decor, and laid-back country charm. Whether you're a fan of banjos, fiddles, or just soaking in the season, this is your chance to celebrate fall in true St. Jacobs style.
Bales & Boots Bluegrass Bash is a non-ticketed event—we invite you to come enjoy the music, explore the village, and make a day of it with great shopping and delicious food throughout St. Jacobs!
