All member festivals should have an international flavour and book bluegrass bands from other countries, preferably including other European countries, on a regular basis. Alternatively, they have an expressed policy that they normally book foreign bands. And they should be (or become) active members of EBMA. Not-so-strictly bluegrass festivals may become members if they also book foreign bluegrass bands as a rule.

Any festival, which fulfils the membership criteria outlined above, is invited to send their festival information to board( at )ebma.org for consideration.
