The Father's Day Festival is the largest, and we think the best, bluegrass festival on the West Coast. Held on the Father's Day weekend each June in California's beautiful Mother Lode country, the four day festival brings to our members the best bluegrass acts in the nation.
 
 
The Sonoma County Bluegrass Festival brings together top notch acts from around California for an entire day in the Sonoma area. Though only a single day, bluegrass music is jam packed into the event. Whether you're a local of the Sonoma area or just want to take a drive to this beautiful region, the Sonoma County Bluegrass Festival is a must for bluegrass lovers.

 

The CBA Music Camp takes place on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the Father's Day Festival. Held at the festival site in Grass Valley, the camp features some of the best bluegrass performers and teachers in the United States. The camp's focus is on improving the jamming skills of intermediate players. Register early!
 
Campouts are a mainstay of the CBA. Three times each year, Spring, Mid-Summer and Fall, members come together for a three day weekend to jamming and just plain fun. Locations for the event vary each year but there's always great camp sites and RV hook-ups. Whether you're a picker or a listener you'll love our annual campouts.
 
Concerts take place year round throughout the several CBA service regions. Area vice presidents are constantly on the look out for big name bands headed our way and most often are able to book them into local venues. Typically small (one hundred to three hundred attendees) the concert gives fans a chance to see their favorite bluegrass band up close and personal. Watch for the next CBA concert in your area.
