After 22 years, the name says it all:
"Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival"
"Keeping the legacy of Ragtime and early Jazz alive in the Sierra Foothills"
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.
August 1st, 2021 Update:
We are almost ready for the festival and very excited! We know that there are concerns from people about recent Covid news. Amador County has a very low infection count even as the news states that the counts are ticking higher as the summer progresses around different parts of the country.
Each venue will be a "mask recommended, but not required" venue. I believe 90% of our guests/attendees will be wearing their masks at any indoor venue. We are also supplying sanitizing wipes for our attendees if they desire them. If something drastically changes with the state and city guidelines before the festival, we will implement the most current guidelines.
Each venue has ample room for social distancing. The Auditorium especially! I think if you wear your mask while in any indoor venue you will find that you will have a sense of safety and comfort.
This being said, it is clearly up to you to make the decision that best represents your concerns and ideals in how it relates to you attending the festival. Just know that we are doing our best to keep our patrons safe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, we are going full speed ahead and making our 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. Now that June 16th has passed and has given us some relaxed guidelines, there will still be some minor Covid precautions in place for everyone's safety and peace of mind.
So, yes, Many changes are happening on the social landscape as we move forward with 2021 and the festival and it 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 at this year's festival.
If you are on our mailing list there will be updates via emails as news warrants.
Thank you,
Stevens Price
Festival Director
