It is time we all got back together again for some bluegrass fun!
The NCBS Gathering will be held on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at the San Benito County Historical Park, 8300 Airline Highway in Tres Pinos, 7 miles south of Hollister.
This is a FREE event.
This will be a relaxed, friendly day of bluegrass music onstage and in the picnic areas with bands, jamming, food, people you haven’t seen in awhile, and fun!
You will enjoy the drive down to the lovely hamlet of Tres Pinos and then enter the San Benito County Historical Park. Beginning at 10:00am, there will be bluegrass music on several stages. You and your friends can set up your day camp with your usual chairs, tables, ice chests, and shade canopy, or you can rely on the park’s picnic tables and shade trees in the south end of the park, near the main stage. NCBS has reserved Picnic Areas 8 & 9.
The main stage bands, The Wildcat Mountain Rambers, Eric Burman & The Brookdale Bluegrass Band, and Hoot N Holler, will play on the usual GOF stage, but it will face the historic village square, not the big field. There will be picnic tables and space for your folding chairs in the square. The main stage show will run Noon-3:00pm. There will be intimate ‘tweener sets between main stage acts. A small stage in the picnic area will have acoustic music 10:00am-Noon.
After the main stage shuts down, jamming and relaxing will continue until 5:00pm.
If you decide not to bring your own food and drink, our friends with the San Benito County Historical Society will be serving grilled sausages and more and the Saloon will be serving the finest soft drinks.
And remember…all of your friends will be there!
