The Musical Legacy Continues!
The Musical Legacy Continues!
The 23rd Annual Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival is in the history books!
It was a great weekend of music and fun. Albeit a little on the warm, if not hot side of the weather spectrum! But we prevailed and came away with a "Ragtime Rising" out from Covid blues. Everyone practiced their social distancing skills along with the masking protocols which helped create a safe and memorable festival. In the weeks to come we hope to post reviews, pictures and some videos of the festivities.
Thank you to all who attended and made it such a great event. Much thanks to all of our volunteers and of course to the magnificent musicians who performed like ragtime rockstars!
Keep watching for new updates soon.

But now its also time to look towards the future: "Presenting Next Year's 2022 Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival" August 12 - 14, 2022 Yes, After 23 years, the Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival is indeed "Historic!" Many great years of great Ragtime and early Jazz music have pervaded this quaint gold rush town of Sutter Creek, known as the "Jewel of the Motherlode", and created a unique and special festival touted as the best festival by many of the performers! Just stepping onto the streets of this charming town, you realize that you are in for a treat. The Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival brings a respite to the sometimes polished and stiff feel of some of the bigger festivals. Here in Sutter Creek the rush of daily life slows to a crawl. Friendly merchants and townsfolk all striving to make the visitor feel right at home and forget about your problems back home. Excellent dining, first rate lodging, ample beer and wine tasting shops and the sounds of Ragtime music will lull you to the days gone by. Our festival creates a relaxed and intimate setting where all can feel as though they are best of friends. Talk to the performers, buy their drinks and even take them out to lunch or dinner. A perfect way to know so much more about your favorite performer. This Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival runs for 3 days, Friday thru Sunday, August 12- 14. Festivities start at 4 pm on Friday afternoon and ends Sunday afternoon after the finale concert. Music is performed at four venues along main street, which includes 2 special concerts highlighting the performers. And of course, we hope to have Silent Movies with piano accompaniment at the Auditorium this year. There is almost always after hours jamming at the hotel and other venues as well. An information table will be set up in front of the Auditorium/City Hall, to obtain your event badges, purchase t-shirts, music and the performer's CD's. Once situated you may now meander through the town and visit the unique friendly shops, antique stores, wine tasting spots and the fine restaurants.
