You don't know what you are missing. With all the stages the choices of styles and performers is almost endless. Everything is close together on a small college campus. Some stages are inside but most are outside.
In the main area the Watson stage and Cabin stage are side by side so the performances never have a break between. While one act is performing the next act is getting set up on the other stage. As soon as one is done the performers on the other stage are introduced and begin.

While I have never done Merlefest. I did help run sound at a HUGE 4 day Bluegrass festival near Mocksville. IF you can stay on site, it would be GREAT. Many of the band members walk from site to site picking, ALL night long. It is a never ending show. Seems Grassy people just can't get enough. It was a blast, although after sitting behind the console, and helping setup all the bands. I was ready for sleep after the last group.
Sound guy eh? John Holder is my wife's 1st Cousin. Mocksville sounds like Denton, one of our favorites.

We never miss a bluegrass festival either. Have not done Merlefest but if there is camping onsite that is the way to go. The best music is after the stages shut down.
