Single day pass holders receive a single day wristband which will allow you to stay on site and attend the late night show (note: entry to the High Sierra Music Hall is a separate ticketed event, as it always has been) however you cannot camp or stay overnight with a single day pass.

There will be single day non-camping passes available for each day.

The 2026 HSMF is located in Grass Valley, CA at the picturesque Nevada County Fairgrounds.

There are two types of parking available. There is on site vehicle parking for those camping on site and day parking available in the lower parking lot for folks who will be staying off site and coming for the day.

Yes there are. Our exceptional health professionals who have been with High Sierra for years will return once again to provide great care. 

There are hotels in Grass Valley and Nevada City as well as a slew of AirBNB and VRBO options in the area.

At present there is public transportation via the bus system in town provided by Nevada County Connects that has a stop at the back of the Fairgrounds that runs during business hours during the week. We are working on trying to set up shuttle service for extended hours and the weekend. 

There is a pool at the Gold Country YMCA in Grass Valley, a five minute drive from the Fairgrounds and a variety of swimming holes at the nearby Yuba River.

Yes it is. Camping is first come first served unless you have purchased a FestivALL Pass, which comes with early entry.

Camping is first-come, first-served.  Saving space for other patrons is not permitted.  

The Nevada County Fairgrounds offers two restroom buildings complete with showers.  Additionally, a shower trailer will be placed near Gate 6 of Hillside.

RV camping is available at the fairgrounds, with multiple options to fit your needs. The FestivALL RV Package includes full hook-up sites, on-site RV sites, and dry camping spaces located along Lions Lake.

For those looking for additional amenities and a quieter setting, the Grass Valley RV Resort, conveniently located just across the street from the fairgrounds, offers a pool, showers, cornhole, BBQ grills, and more. It’s an excellent choice for families or anyone looking for a less-crowded yet close-to-the-action experience. We’ve reserved several of their premium sites as part of our FestivALL Grass Valley Family Package.

For ADA Patrons with an On-Site RV pass, we can accommodate you in the ADA RV area.  This area is near Gate 5 and has hookups.  You will need to show your On-Site RV pass and the blue disability placard (or license plate).   Once you have purchased your festival tickets and on-site RV pass, please contact us so we can add you to our list of ADA patrons with a hookup.  Space is limited, so I encourage you to do this while supplies last. 

We can accommodate some vehicles along the ADA camping area for car camping if their medical condition requires them to have their vehicle next to their camp.  Otherwise, there is ADA parking adjacent to the ADA camping area.  

The camping areas at the Fairgrounds are generally comparable in distance to the stages that Hillside and Shady Grove were in Quincy, depending on which stage you plan to visit.  There is also a stage near the main on-site parking area, the Far Out Amphitheater. 

While we do not offer traditional “car camping” at the Fairgrounds, most designated camping areas are located adjacent to their corresponding parking areas for convenient access.  In some cases, we can park vehicles along the perimeter of the camping areas. 

Please reference our festival map for more information. 

The outdoor stages will begin around 1pm each day and end at 11pm each day. The late night High Sierra Music Hall and Troubadour Sessions will continue indoors after 11pm. 

As long as you have your festival wristband you can come and go as you please.

Yes, however, cans and bottles while permitted in the campgrounds are NOT permitted inside the inner Fairgrounds. 

Pets are NOT allowed at the festival.

There will be festival viewing areas at the three large outdoor stages, The Main Stage, The Vaudeville Pavillion and The Far Out Amphitheatre.

See our FestivALL page for all details!

We will have a dedicated shuttle that runs to and from the Gold Miner’s Inn for VIP Guests staying there.
