South State 48 vol V takes place in beautiful Carlsbad, CA from Thursday, November 6th – Sunday, November 9th, 2025. (24 hour jamming starts Friday.)
Mark your calendars: Discounted hotel room reservations will open to CBA members on May 1st at 10:00 am. Check the website on 5/1 for the code to reserve your room on that day so you won’t miss out on getting a room at this popular event!
This is a jamming festival! Tune up your guitar, rosin up that fiddle bow and get ready to pick 24/7. You can play music in the beautiful tree-filled courtyard all day and all night. When you get hungry (for something besides music), check out the Windmill Food Hall, conveniently located adjacent to the hotel. This food venue features a dozen different restaurants and a full bar.
Make sure your CBA membership is current! Rooms must be reserved for at least two nights. No single day room bookings are available under the CBA discounted rate. Everyone is welcome to attend! However, you won’t get the steep room discounts or the 24/7 jamming rooms unless you are a current CBA member. CBA membership costs just $30 and you can join now in just minutes. Click here to join.
Remember, you don’t have to be a guest of the hotel to enjoy this free jamming event or any of the extras (workshops, open jams, concerts, contests, and more), but if you’d like to stay at the hotel – don’t hesitate!
