Brookdale Venue Unavailable, But The Bluegrass Festival Continues
The Brookdale Inn & Spa (formerly, the Brookdale Lodge) is still undergoing extensive renovations that will (sigh, once again) prevent NCBS from using the venue for a festival, but — the bluegrass fun will live on the weekend of December 4-5, 2009 at another location.
Admission to the 18th Brookdale Bluegrass Festival will be by advance reservation only. Details will be available soon on this website and on the festival website.
The Brookdale Bluegrass Festival has been hosted by Eric and Barbra Burman in March and December since 1999 and is one of the highlights of the Santa Cruz Mountains bluegrass winter season.
