About High Sierra Music Festival
High Sierra Music Festival is an eclectic gem that blends jam, funk, bluegrass, world music, and electronic into a community-focused experience. After 25 years in Quincy, the 2026 edition relocates to the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley — closer to the Bay Area and Sacramento. The festival is known for its adventurous booking and a crowd that's genuinely open to musical discovery. The late-night sets and collaborative sit-ins are where High Sierra's magic happens.
