After 24 years, the name says it all:

"Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival"

"Keeping the legacy of Ragtime and early Jazz alive in the Sierra Foothills"
The "Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival"
        The Musical Legacy Continues!

​

  The 24th Annual Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival is in the history books!  
  It was a great weekend of music and fun.  The weather cooperated although the music was HOT!
So many great musicians showing off their talent. Wonderful concerts, jam sessions, new acquaintances made and the genuine love of music permeated the festival. Our popular Youth concert proved that the next generation of Ragtime artists are well represented and the future of Ragtime is secure.
  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 as the mile stone of our 25th Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival is just around the corner. Plan to be a part of this amazing event coming AUGUST 11-13, 2023.
A big celebration is being planned with some musicians from past years making an appearance. Join our mailing list to be in the know for this next year.

Welcome to the

"Presenting The 2023 Historic Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival​"

August 11 - 13,  2023


Yes, After 24 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 t
o 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 11- 13.  Festivities start at 4 pm on Friday afternoon and ends Sunday afternoon after the finale concert.  Music is performed at five 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.  

​  Information on the different venues, lodging choices and Festival pricing are all within this website at your fingertips!
