Opening Day Of Santa Cruz Bluegrass Fair Is A Success, Continues Through May 8

The opening day of the 2021 Santa Cruz Bluegrass Fair enjoyed fine weather, great bluegrass music, and a happy audience. For many musicians and fans in attendance, it was their first live music performance in over a year. The beloved Rite of Spring for the area bluegrass community blissfully returned after a year away.

Sidesaddle & Co, Birches Bend, Bearcat Duo, BanjerDan Mazer, & Still Searchin’ provided the entertainment. The Summit House staff provided excellent food and drink. The free fair presented by the NCBS/SCBS will return for the next three Saturdays.
