Biggest
Little Festival in the Northeast!
The Busy Bird Bluegrass Festival was founded
in 2004 by the Kithcart family of Berkshire, NY. Beverly
Kithcart (whose maiden name was Bird), a loving mother of 9
children, enjoyed attending festivals throughout her years.
She had a warm personality that was liked by many, and she
always had something to do to keep her busy. Her niece and
nephews called her "Aunt Busy", which later led to "Busy
Bird". Beverly truly desired to have a festival of her own
someday that she could share with her family. With the help
of her children, her dream came true in the summer of 2004
with the then named "Busy Bird Family Bluegrass Festival."
Sadly, the 2004 festival would be the only one 'Busy Bird'
would attend. She passed away in January 2005. The loss of
their mother hit the Kithcart family hard, but they decided
to continue holding the festival annually in memory of their
mother. In August 2011, the Busy Bird Bluegrass Festival was
taken over by the Gwardyak family. They have promised to
continue the Annual tradition of providing the community the
same great, festive environment that the Kithcart family
started.
