Chet Kingery Memorial Bluegrass Festival takes place in Mackville and centers on bluegrass performances across the grounds. The event honors Chet Kingery and is organized by the Washington County Bluegrass Music Association. Bands appear throughout the gathering while attendees spend time around the outdoor setting.
Beyond the music, the festival includes camping on site for those staying overnight. A covered stage area provides a place to watch performances, and attendees can spend time socializing around campsites. The event also holds a church service during the weekend.
