There will be no Brookdale Bluegrass Festival in 2025. The festival has been presented by Eric Burman & Brookdale Bluegrass since 2000, usually at the Brookdale Lodge or another Santa Cruz Mountains location.
For many years, there were two — or even three — festivals held each year. The festival will not be held this year principally due to landlord issues. Future plans are uncertain. The festival has been welcomed by the Northern California Bluegrass Society since its inception.
