Our 2022 Father’s Day Festival is still a year away – but we’re already pinning down plans to return from our 2-year hiatus better than ever.
The 47th annual Bluegrass festival will be held June 16 through 19, 2022, at our usual location – the beautiful Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, California.
Tickets go on sale November 1 and are expected to sell out fast!
Since the very first Father’s Day Festival in 1976, the California Bluegrass Association’s annual festival has become one of the premier events in West Coast Bluegrass, a showcase for traditional and progressive Bluegrass, Old-time, and Gospel music.
The list of performers who have graced our multiple stages over the years include beloved national touring bands and emerging California artists (some of whom have gone on to nationally prominent careers). Our popular Vern’s Stage features California acts between main stage performances.
Add in the multitude of campsite jams that spring up all over the beautiful grounds, and this is an event where – almost literally – the music never stops!
