Next Year: The Northen California Bluegrass Society has set the Historic 30th Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival for August 8-11, 2024. The then Santa Cruz Bluegrass Society staged the first GOF at Bolado Park in 1994. Due to the pandemic, the 2020 festival was held online and no festival was held in 2021. See you at the San Benito County Historical Park next August — and thanks for your support!
The Northern California Bluegrass Society thanks our host, the San Benito County Historical Society, which manages the San Benito County Historical Park in Tres Pinos.
The historical society volunteers work alongside the bluegrass society volunteers to make the festival happen each year. The beautiful park they maintain is the home of our annual gathering of friends. This year, the historical volunteers also grilled a great Saturday evening meal for festival attendees.
The historical society also runs the history museum in downtown Hollister. The historical village at the park and museum are open many days throughout the year.
The Historic 30th NCBS Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival will be held August 8-11, 2024.
Thanks to all of the dedicated, hard-working NCBS Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival Volunteers who spent the past weekend (or the past year!) making the festival happen. Your efforts are much appreciated!
Thanks also go to the volunteers of the San Benito County Historical Society who make the park so beautiful!
And thanks to the bands and their fans who have supported the event over many years!
The 30th GOF gathering will take place August 8-11, 2024. See you there!
