FATHER’S DAY BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL

Held annually in June on Father's Day weekend since 1976, the Father's Day Bluegrass Festival has grown to become a much-anticipated family-friendly event drawing bluegrass enthusiasts from around the country. Set amongst the scenic Sierra Foothills, this year's festival features a lineup of the top national, regional, and local bluegrass performers on three stages over the course of four days. To further enhance the festival experience, the Father's Day Bluegrass Festival also offers free workshops, camping, non-stop jam sessions by music-playing fans, informal square dances, an acclaimed Youth Program, a wide-range of food and beverage vendors, and more.

"This year's Father's Day Bluegrass Festival is on track to become our biggest yet," said CBA Chairman Pete Ludé.
