| 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. |

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; shows are frequently advertised on our Online Tickets page, http://www.cbaontheweb.org/tickets/eventList.aspx.
