A “new” historical building and other improvements will await bluegrass fans at the San Benito County Historical Park for the 2017 Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival. The historic Palmtag Cutting Shed has been moved to the park and reassembled. It will be a good place for jamming and other festival uses. In addition, there will be an electrical upgrade and improvements to the stage roof. There is also good news about the park water supply.
The Historical Park was first used in 2016 for the GOF Festival following some improvements made to accommodate the event. The San Benito County Historical Society and San Benito County Parks plan additional upgrades in coming years.
The 24th annual festival will be held August 10-13, 2017.
