The four-day NCBS Bluegrass On Broadway Festival ended today with the NCBS International Bluegrass Music Museum Film Festival, a hugely successful weekend for the third-year event held in Redwood City. For the first time at the festival, the filmmakers for all three independent films on the program attended and spoke to the audience about their projects.

The BOB was the last of three festivals staged by the Northern California Bluegrass Society during a 4-week span, ending a run with the San Francisco Bluegrass & Old Time Festival and the Boulder Creek Bluegrass & Old Timey Festival.

Attendance was up significantly for all of the weekend’s live music events, including Saturday’s Northern California Bluegrass Awards.

NCBS Bluegrass On Broadway, including the NCBS International Bluegrass Music Museum Film Festival, receives principal financial support from the Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission, Redwood City Public Library, Redwood City Friends of the Library, and Tapestry Church (formerly, the Peninsula Christian Center), and from other area businesses and individuals.
