- Enjoy and participate in live music on stage: jamming starts at 1 pm, open stage at 3 pm, house band Pine Mountain Bluegrass Band at 5 pm, and featured band at 6 pm. Each June's event is the annual fundraiser, featuring additional bands on a schedule that begins at 11 am.
- At monthly events, 4–7 pm the concession stand offers hot dogs, bologna sandwiches, chips, soda, and water; BBQ is offered at the Annual Pine Mountain Bluegrass & BBQ Fundraiser each June. Proceeds support PMCC.
A tradition at Pine Mountain since 2006, Bluegrass Jamboree events attract locals and visitors alike for jamming, open stage, and live shows by the house band — Pine Mountain Bluegrass Band – and featured bands from the Alabama Bluegrass Music Association.
