History

The Old Settler's Bluegrass Festival was first held in Old Settler's Park in Round Rock, Texas. After the park flooded during a festival weekend, the organizers moved the festival first to Stone Mountain Events Center in Dripping Springs, Texas, and later to the Salt Lick BBQ Pavilion and Camp Ben McCulloch in Driftwood, Texas. In 2018, the festival moved to its forever home on 145 acres of rolling meadows and tree covered campgrounds. The new location is just a cd's worth of listening from Austin. The name of the festival was modified to Old Settler's Music Festival in 2000.

Old Settler's already has been widely recognized for its contribution to Central Texas culture; with over 30 bands performing for 16,000 roots-music fans each year, it is considered among the major events that help the region sustain its status as the “live music capital of the world.” And now, as it plants roots of its own on its new 45-acre property, Old Settler's cements its status as the sole roots music and camping festival in the Central Texas area. "OSMF has become an elite musical event without sacrificing the community vibe that built it."[3]

Since there was no festival planned in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 33rd was deferred to 2021.
