After a quarter century at the Plumas County Fairgrounds in Quincy, the High Sierra Music Festival will move to the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley for the 2026 event, to be held on Fourth of July Weekend. Previous venues for the 34-year-old festival include the inaugural event at Strawberry and later Bear Valley.
Other music events currently held at the Nevada County Fairgrounds include the CBA Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival, Fall & Spring Strawberry Music Festivals, and the KVMR Celtic Festival.
Festival organizers will hold a Live-Streamed Discussion (High Sierra Instagram Page) and answer questions on Thursday, October 2 at 9:00am Pacific Time.
