Please accept our warmest wishes for a music-filled, happy and healthy new year.

We are doing our utmost to bring back our special brand of live music to Bear Valley as soon as it is safe to do so. Meanwhile, we will keep you posted on our progress on this website and in our monthly eNewsletter (click here to subscribe).

As we reflect on the challenges of the past year, we are reminded of the many storms our Festival has weathered over the decades. Yet through it all, our patrons and donors have somehow brought us back year after year. No one tells the Festival’s story better than our local newsman Eric Jung in his piece titled Gypsy Caravan, originally published to commemorate our 50th anniversary in 2018.

Following a season without concerts or ticket sales, we are especially grateful to the donors whose gifts have not only helped us through these months, but also paved the way for the next Bear Valley Music Festival. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you!

Rest assured the Festival is in a solid position built on 52 years of support from the community, volunteers and our faithful donors. We will move forward with strength and resolve that better days are ahead. The 2021 festival has been scheduled for July 23-August 8, 2021, and, when we all gather again under the big white tent, it will be an especially sweet celebration.

With our best wishes for your health and wellbeing,

The Board and Staff of the Bear Valley Music Festival
