The San Francisco Bluegrass & Old Time Festival will return to San Francisco on Wednesday-Sunday, October 11-15, 2017. The SFBOT shows will be held in various venues. The event celebrates the robust bluegrass community in San Francisco and will follow the big Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival Weekend in the city.
The Bow Ties and Good Not Great will open the festival on Wednesday, October 11 at The Lost Church.
The original SFBOT festival (held 2000-2013) was organized by a quasi-independent committee of the Northern California Bluegrass Society.
The revival is a project of several area bluegrass organizations including the California Bluegrass Association, and is welcomed by the Northern California Bluegrass Society.
