The Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival began in 2004, and was conceived by the local Chamber of Commerce as a way to introduce folks to our beautiful valley and, more importantly, as a scholarship fundraiser for the local valley high school. The Festival is now in its fifth successful year. Bluegrass music, small towns and high mountain scenery are a pretty unbeatable combination.

The 2008 Festival will be held on July 19th and 20th at the Etna City Park in Etna, California. The big weekend kicks off in downtown Etna on Friday, July 18th, with a "Jammin' On Main" event. One block of Main Street in Etna will be closed to through traffic from 6pm to 9pm that Friday night, and all visiting musicians and pickers are invited and encouraged to join in the fun.

If you would like to plan your entire vacation around this festival, there are many great attractions nearby. For instance, the weekend just before our festival is the 2008 Prospect Bluegrass Festival. It will be held on July 11th, 12th and 13th. Prospect, Oregon is located on Highway 62, 40 miles northeast of Medford and just 35 minutes from Crater Lake National Park. Check it out!
