(March 5, 2025) Every year, Klipsch fans from around the world make their way to Hope, Arkansas—the birthplace of the legendary speaker brand—for the annual Klipsch Pilgrimage. This two-day event, set for March 7-8, 2025, is a celebration of Paul W. Klipsch’s pioneering contributions to audio engineering, offering enthusiasts an opportunity to connect over a shared passion for high-fidelity sound.
Hosted by the Klipsch Museum of Audio History, the Pilgrimage brings together enthusiasts, engineers, and historians for a weekend of museum tours, listening sessions, technical discussions, and live music. The event is free to the public, with the exception of the Chief Bonehead Class, an in-depth educational session led by Klipsch Principal Engineer Roy “Chief Bonehead” Delgado Jr. This year’s class will focus on the advantages of digital signal processing (DSP) for fully horn-loaded speakers. Tickets for the class are $100 for museum members and $150 for non-members.
The schedule kicks off on Friday, March 7, with guided tours of the Klipsch Museum of Audio History, led by curator and Klipsch historian Jim Hunter. Later in the afternoon, a wreath-laying ceremony at Paul W. Klipsch’s gravesite will be followed by an annual membership meeting and a listening session featuring Klipsch loudspeakers in the Paul W. Klipsch Auditorium. Saturday’s agenda includes the Chief Bonehead Class, factory visits, and an evening fajita dinner with live performances from both The Pepaw Collective and LB and The RiffRaff.
Klipsch has been hosting pilgrimages for decades, long before such fan gatherings became commonplace in the audio world. The event remains a unique opportunity for longtime and new Klipsch enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the brand’s history, meet the engineers behind its products, and celebrate the legacy of Paul W. Klipsch.
