On May 9-12, 2024, in the picturesque hamlet of Parkfield, CA, the Bluegrass Music Society of the Central Coast (BMSCC) proudly presents the 24th Annual Parkfield Bluegrass Festival. Parkfield, known as the "Earthquake Capital of the World,” springs to life every Mother’s Day Weekend with toe-tapping Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Traditional music. Bluegrass music fans take over this small country village once a year for four days of concerts, workshops, children’s activities, camping and around-the-clock music jams! Live bands play all day on a cozy stage and at night fans enjoy late night sets in the Parkfield Cafe. Attendees are welcome to come for the weekend with their RVs or tents. Single day admissions are also available and the Festival is a great day-trip outing from almost anywhere in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo or Monterey Counties.
