The Musical Legacy Continues!
The Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival has been watching carefully and with concern on how the Corona Virus (Covid-19) will be affecting the 2020 festival this August. As of now we are still planning on proceeding with the festival as planned.
Here is the format for this year:
The 2020 "Ragtime Pandemic" Festival will be a ONE day event on Saturday August 15th and will take place at the Hotel Sutter. The day 's music will start about 10 am and run till 5 and we will do a shortened concert starting at 7pm.
We have Paul Orsi, Elliott Adams, Micheal Chisolm, Anthony Sarginson, Julia Riley and myself to entertain you for the festival. All the other musicians have had to cancel. But there is excellent talent in this group to make for a great time.
The Hotel does have a maximum seating in the banquet room at this time of 30 people, because of the social distancing Situation we all find ourselves in.
If you are still interested and would like to attend the day on Saturday, we have a good number of day badges still available. These will be sold on a first come basis for $45, until we reach the capacity. Best to send an email or call me to reserve your badge. This festival is history in the making. By attending you will have survived the "Ragtime Pandemic" Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival, 2020
We will have custom ragtime masks available and a limited amount of T Shirts as well.
Social distancing and sanitization regiments will be adhered too. (The new normal)
As Director of the festival, I do ask of you that when the festival is upon us, that you assess your own personal situation and make the right decision for yourselves on whether to attend. If you have any reason to think that you may have a remote chance to have been exposed to the Covid, or if you feel that there is too much risk for your own safety, then you need to make the right decision to not attend the festival.

"At the last minute we may have to move to an outside venue."
If you are on our mailing list there will be updates via emails as news warrants.
Thank you,
Stevens Price
Festival Director
