The 2006 San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival kicks off today, Feb 2nd and continues through Feb 12th. The festival features more than just concerts, it’s an entertainment event. There are concerts from both national and local acts held at a variety of different venues. There is also square dancing, participatory jams, kids shows, and instrument and dance workshops. Most of the events are ticketed, but some are very low-cost and others are free.

Instead of a centralized location for the festival, it’s spread over many venues throughout the city.

From nightclubs to coffeehouses to CD stores, the festival invites you to venues all over San Francisco and neighboring communities, most of which host bluegrass & old-time music all year-round.

Events/Venues are ticketed separately and tickets are available online through the festival website at sfbluegrass.org
