The 2011  Santa Cruz Bluegrass Fair will be held on the THIRD Saturday in May – May 21 – due to a schedule conflict with the usual first Saturday date. The Santa Cruz Bluegrass Society/Northern California Bluegrass Society has held the Fair each May since 1987. It is a FREE afternoon concert in the park with warm spring sun, warm spring fever, and warm spring bluegrass fun. Plan to join us at the Duck Pond Stage in San Lorenzo Park, next to the courthouse in downtown Santa Cruz.
