It's about the BEER (& Wine)…
1 - 4pm...Micro-Beer & Organic Wine Tasting*
Mountain Harvest revolves around one of the most impressive small town microbrew tastings you will find anywhere. Brewers and brewery owners love to come to this event to proudly share the fruits of their labors and to "talk beer" with an interested, appreciative crowd. We will have more than 25 craft brewers represented with more than 50 brews to sample.

It's about the the MUSIC & MORE…
|
1 to 2:45pm…
Perpetual Drifters are a four-piece rock band from Chico, California. Band members come from a variety of musical backgrounds, drawing from a rich palette of old and new sounds. The Perpetual Drifters' vivid lyrics—"Pass away like taillights in the fog, February blossoms early in the sun, fade under the weight of winter's thumb"—written by frontman Garrett Gray make the group's roots rock/folk amalgam an out-of-body experience for listeners. The perfect soundtrack to start a beautiful Fall day at our Mountain Harvest Festival! |
Big Mo & The Full Moon Band http://bigmoblues.com headlining the music at 3pm.
Big Mo & the Full Moon Blues Band will bring their high-energy big band soul and danceable blues sets up the mountain to headline the Mountain Harvest Festival. Big Mo & Co will make sure that everyone is on their feet swaying their hips to the smoky, slithering and smooth tracks of traditional blues, punctuated with country, Southern-style rock and pop, a little Santana-style Latin influence, jazz-blues, funk, folk, powerful vocals & lyrics and top flight musicianship. They got it all!

Mostly, it's about building CULTURE & COMMUNITY…
This Mountain Harvest festival is one of the major fund-raising efforts that helps to keep Plumas Arts bringing you the countless events, services and programs all year long that helps make our lovely little county the very happening cultural Mecca that it has become.
Plumas Arts is our region's most active nonprofit cultural programming agency and it's largest membership organization. We provide art education in our schools, support local artists and performers, manage a gallery exclusively featuring the work of regional artists, host numerous concerts and events, and run the only movie theatre (that doubles as a live performance venue that hosts local and international performing artists) in a 70 mile radius. We recently renovated a historic bar into our new home-- an arts center, gallery and gift shop featuring a variety of work Made in Plumas County.
In the last two years the economic crisis has stripped Plumas Arts of the significant county funding that is has worked hard to earn over the last three decades. So things financial are getting harder for Plumas Arts. All the more reason to join in, have some fun and leave as much money as you can to help this essential community cultural organization!
EVENT ADMISSION is $7. TASTING PASSES include event admission and a souvenir tasting glass and are $35 Advance Sale or $40 at the gate. Overnight camping is available for $15 per site. RV hook-up are $20.
Members of Plumas Arts can obtain pre-sale discounts on the purchase of Tasting Passes. Call 283-3402 for details.
