Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival Is Cancelled

Gene Bach, the Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival promoter, has announced that the event is CANCELLED. The festival had been set for July 18-20 in the town of Etna, off of I-5 in far Northern California.

The popular small-town festival was held for 10 years but was then on hiatus for the next 10 years. The festival was to be revived for 2024, but a nearby threatening wildfire smoked it out. Now the 2025 revival effort has been ended as well. The event will not return.

Bach is well known in California for starting the Susanville Bluegrass Festival (still ongoing under new ownership) and the Etna festival. He also started the Twin Bridges Bluegrass Festival in Montana.
