Redwood Mountain Faire

Annual Music Festival Celebrates and Supports Community IMG_2896

Set in a beautiful meadow among the redwood trees in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains the Redwood Mountain Faire is perhaps the biggest little music festival in California. It’s also the family friendliest. This all volunteer run event – the proceeds go to local school, service organizations and non-profit groups – is held each year at Roaring Camp in Felton on the first weekend in June from 10am till dusk.

First presented in the early 80’s by the Valley Women’s Club; organizers have consistently produced a first class event with low ticket prices – $20 at the gate for the full day with discounts for students, seniors, multi day and advance purchase. The musical lineup includes 22 bands performing continuously on two large stages. A variety of musical genres combine to create a Santa Cruz Mountain Americana flavor that is the hallmark of the Redwood Mountain Faire.

The Faire’s setting next to the 1880’s style logging camp town of Roaring Camp with 100 year old steam locomotives making their scheduled runs around the meadow and up to Bear Mountain and the view of the Big Trees of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park adds to the magic of the day.

Dozens of local arts, crafts, food, beer and wine vendors will be on hand. A special supervised kids area with games, activities and bounce house is always popular and special surprises throughout the day promise to delight.

National touring acts like legendary blues guitarist Coco Montoya, former local and country favorite Lacy J Dalton, the supremely talented Birds of Chicago, Roger MacNamee’s Moonalice, Poor Man’s Whiskey, Store, and John Craigie are among the more recognizable names on the bill along with local legends Harpin’ Jonny and Larry Hosford, Mary McCaslin and Steve Palazzo, and The Joe Craven Trio.
