Only Six Weeks to Go!!
Here's some information to help you plan your Festival Weekend!
Even if you've been coming to this festival for years, we've added some 
NEW FEATURES for 2024!

We've added a jamming area at the south end of the parking lot.  The Fountain area will be utilized for some performances.  Artists and Vendors will be allowed past the checkpoint to park in their own designated area.  We will have additional parking offsite--with a van shuttle to bring people to the Stage Area. Click here to see an enlarged version of the map.

The Friday Country Supper will be served at the Picnic Pavillion (see map above).  It's included in the "VIP Weekend Pass" and the "Friday Only with Dinner" tickets.  Separate Dinner-Only tickets are $35.
Only 100 Dinners will be sold, and  must be purchased by August 5.                               20% discount for NNBA Members!     MUST PURCHASE IN ADVANCE

The main campground we use for our festival, Washoe Lake State Park North Group Area,  is over a mile from the Stage.   So, we provide a van that drives loops between the camp-ground and the stage area throughout the Festival. Click the picture to see an enlarged version.  And click here to learn more about camping.

Speaking of Jamming......
Since our Festival concludes each day at dusk (there are no lights in the Park!), jammers have the whole evening and all night for campgound jamming!!  We've also designated a Jamming Area at Bowers Park (on the south end of the parking lot) for folks that want to jam at the festival.  It's far enough away from the Stage that you can jam as loudly as you want!  And we'll have a canopy there for shade, and even golf cart shuttles to take you there!  We really want to encourage jamming, so bring your instruments!  It will be "self serve", so grab a couple pickin' friends, and go start a jam!   

Still time to join our Volunteer Crew! 
But better do it soon.  Friday slots are all taken.  Sat & Sun slots are filling up fast.  Our Orientation Meeting is a little over a month away, and you MUST attend Orientation if you want to get all the percs that our fabulous crew members enjoy!
