There will be two summer events at the San Benito County Historical Park in Tres Pinos that Northern California Bluegrass Society members and their friends can enjoy.
SATURDAY, July 10
The NCBS Gathering — FREE — This is a chance to see your bluegrass friends that you haven’t seen in a while. Bring a picnic and jam with the folks all day. There will be three bands playing on the main stage, ‘tweeners, and more bands playing in the picnic area. If you like, you can bring your canopy, chairs, and a table or two and invite your friends to visit you. Or, you can simply bring yourself and your instruments and enjoy the park’s shade trees and picnic tables. If you don’t want to bring your own food and drink, our friends in the San Benito County Historical Society will be grilling sausages and hot dogs and serving soft drinks in the saloon. Bring a chair for the music and any alcohol you want. Your friends will all be there! Presented By The Northern California Bluegrass Society.
FRIDAY-SUNDAY, August 13-15
The Brookdale Bluegrass Festival — Peter Rowan & Laurie Lewis will headline this 3-day camping festival. There will be plenty of other bands, lots of camp jamming, and summer fun!

Presented by Brookdale Bluegrass and welcomed by the Northern California Bluegrass Society. (The NCBS Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival will return in August 2022.)
