After 22 years, the name says it all:
The "Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival"
The Musical Legacy Continues!
The Musical Legacy Continues!
The Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival watched very carefully and with concern on how the Corona Virus (Covid-19) would affect the 2020 festival last Year. With all the concerns and precautions we were still able to make the 22nd annual Festival Happen as a one day event!!
So, with another successful and memorable festival behind us, we can turn our attention to the Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival taking place August 13th - 15th, 2021.
Yes, we are going full speed ahead and making preparations for another great festival. Whatever precautions and requirements need to be addressed , we will do so with the upmost safety for our performers and attendees.
Many changes will be happening on the social landscape as we move forward with 2021 and the festival will no doubt look a little different when it arrives, but rest assure that the music, the relaxed atmosphere and genuine joy of being amongst great musicians and like minded Ragtime enthusiasts will be the highlight of your summer!
Everyone is looking for that sense of normalcy that has been missing for so long now, so we hope to help you with that by keeping the pricing for the festival the same as the last two years. The Hotels and B & B's will most likely be offering special rates this year as they look forward to the upcoming summer season.
We are looking forward to hearing from you as the festival approaches!
If you missed last year, we have custom ragtime masks and T Shirts with our unique "Ragtime Pandemic" art work that will be available this year,
If you are on our mailing list there will be updates via emails as news warrants.
Thank you,
Stevens Price
Festival Director
