The beachfront festival combines performances from prominent bluegrass and acoustic artists with an all-inclusive resort experience at Dreams Sapphire Resort. “Strings has become the event I look forward to more than anything all year. It’s not just another festival—it’s its own weird, wonderful, oceanside universe,” stated Yonder Mountain’s Ben Kaufmann.
Performances will take place at beachfront main stage, poolside gazebo and open-air palapa. Outside the music, attendees can also enjoy instrument workshops, beachside jam sessions, theme nights and curated activities.
Rooms are available both at the Sapphire and just down the beach at Dreams Resort & Spa. All-inclusive packages include access to the music, the resort’s amenities, lodging, meals, beverages and activities.
Returning guests can reserve packages during the presale on Tuesday, April 14. Packages go on sale to the public on Wednesday, April 15 at 1 p.m. ET.
