QUEEN CITY, MO --
The sounds of bluegrass have filled the Sally Mountain Park in Queen City, Missouri this week.
   
Bluegrass bands from around nation, including Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, have been performing at the 25th Annual Bluegrass Festival.
    
Vincent is a famous bluegrass singer originally from Greentop, Missouri. She says the event draws in as many as 5,000 bluegrass fans and singers.

“There are people from all over the world, we have a girl from Norway, pretty much any state in the United States is represented. We did a jam a couple of days ago in the morning time and we started to have singers come up and it's like where are you from: Illinois, Indiana, California, Massachusetts, they're from all over and it's a wonderful family atmosphere,” Vincent said.
    
The five day festival featured several shows a day.
    
Attendees could camp out at Sally Mountain Park if they chose.
  
The festival wraps up Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. with a free devotional service.
