Fun: Jake’s Brown Barn Bluegrass Festival is now 6 years old and has a new location that is three miles south of the original — and it is now an October festival! Small, fun, and easy, this is a good way to enjoy bluegrass music with your bluegrass friends. The festival is sponsored by the Northern California Bluegrass Society and The Music Medics and is a memorial to festival founder and local bluegrass icon Jake Quesenberry.

Camping: Festival camping begins at Friday Noon, October 7 and ends on Sunday evening, October 9. (Please do not plan to camp on either Thursday or Sunday nights.) Free dry camping is included in your ticket. Dogs on a leash are allowed in camp, but not in the audience area.
