Two Day Town Festival Is ON for June 21-23 In Livermore After Being On The Edge

The unique local-band East Bay gathering Two-Day Town is ON for this year, despite losing its longtime venue at Del Valle Regional Park and struggling to sell tickets in the early-going at its new location, Rancho Los Mochos near Livermore on its new date, June 21-23, 2024. The festival was held for decades on the last weekend of April.

We like it when our local festivals make it despite tough times! Ticket sales are now sufficient for organizers to hold the event. More advance tickets are available, but no tickets will be sold at the gate. Call for more information.

The gathering features one band from each type of music played in East Bay venues. The bluegrass band has not yet been named. Congratulations from NCBS!
