We’re excited to announce that High Sierra Music Festival will return July 2-5, 2026 in a new and improved location: Nevada City Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, CA. Many of you may be familiar with the Grass Valley Fairgrounds - it's a spectacular picturesque venue, dotted with towering sugar pine trees. While we love Quincy, there are so many advantages to moving to Grass Valley. 1. It’s easier to get to. Only 2.5 hours from SF, 90 minutes from Reno and an hour from Sacramento. 2. There are so many places to stay. With over 1,000 hotel rooms, RV options, Airbnbs, and more, the new location lets you do High Sierra your way. 3. It has space for everything you know and love about HSMF. - 4 Outdoor stages - High Sierra Music Hall (late night shows) - Artist Playshops - Troubadour Sessions - Daily Parades - Family Village - Rockin' Nannies - Yoga and outdoor movement playshops - Silent Disco - Sunrise Kickball - High Sierra Swirl - And More! 4. Upgrades and Expanded Perks for FestivALL VIP Experience. - NEW: FestivALL VIP Hotel Packages with Shuttle Service We’ve reserved a block of rooms at a downtown hotel exclusively for FestivALL VIP patrons. Explore the town, stay off-site, and enjoy FREE shuttle service to and from the Festival grounds. (Includes parking and breakfast too!) - NEW: FestivALL VIP Grass Valley Resort RV Family Package This package includes accommodations for two, with optional family add-ons, at premium RV sites reserved for High Sierra FestivALL guests. Located across the street from the Fairgrounds entrance, it offers a quieter environment with exclusive access to amenities, including a pool, showers, cornhole, and designated quiet hours. - NEW: VIP Viewing Areas at All Major Stages Enjoy exclusive viewing access at all of our main outdoor stages: the Main Stage, Vaudeville, and the Far Out Amphitheater. We're excited for our new home in Grass Valley and want you to know we are working tirelessly to make this transition as seamless as possible. We will also be hosting an IG Live Thursday morning at 9am PST to go over key components of the move (and bringing some of your submitted questions there as well).
