Bear Valley Music Festival
Bear Valley Music Festival

This gorgeous annual summer event founded in 1968 celebrates a wide-range of music genres and artistic styles. Want to attend an opera performed with a fully symphony orchestra, groove to 70’s disco inferno, or don your kilt for a lively jib to Highland bagpipes ? You can, and you can do it at a 7200-foot elevation in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains!
