MOUNTAIN HARVEST BEER FEST
--Cancelled--
Plumas Arts is very disappointed to have to cancel the 2021 Mountain Harvest Beer Festival, which was scheduled for October 16th.
For 17 years the Beer Festival has been hosted at the Plumas Sierra County Fairgrounds. This year the ability to hold the event depended on how long Fire Camp would remain at the fairgrounds. Last week Plumas Arts spoke with Fair Director John Steffanic, and outlook was hopeful that the fairgrounds would be available. It was after this discussion that Plumas Arts decided to put tickets for the event up for sale.
“Unfortunately, we have just learned that the event cannot take place at the fairgrounds due to a contract extension that will require the fairgrounds to continue to serve as a fire camp through the beginning of November,” says Plumas Arts Executive Director, Kara Rockett-Arsenault. “We understand that the fairgrounds acts as an instrumental location for many of the fire crews serving the area. We are disappointed for our event, but are grateful that the fairgrounds can house so many firefighters and other emergency personnel.”
Several other venues were investigated as back up options, but after much research and careful thought, none proved viable, so the difficult decision to cancel was made.
While the in-person event cannot take place, the silent auction featuring photographs of Plumas County and Indian valley by long-time county resident Jim McClain will be hosted online with proceeds benefiting those displaced by the Dixie Fire through Plumas Crisis Intervention and Resource Center. For more information on the auction go to the plumasarts.org website.
Those who have purchased tickets to the event will have them refunded within the next week.

It's about the Beer!
1 - 5pm – Microbrew-Beer Tasting
The Mountain Harvest Beer Festival, Plumas Arts’ primary fundraising event, invites you to support local culture and community with a great collection of humanity, another stellar collection of micro-brewed beers, yummy food and exciting-- musical guests BK and Mista Unknown.
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 20 craft brewers represented.
Things will look a bit different this year because of Covid but we are working on planning the event and following precautions for Covid. The devastating Dixie Fire has challenged our community in many ways.
The fairgrounds, the planned venue, is currently being used as a fire camp.
Stay tuned for new info if things need to change.
Because of Covid and the number of attendees and the nature of this event, if it is raining a-lot, the event will unfortunately have to be canceled because indoors will not be an option this year.
MORE INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE AS IT'S SET!

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 center that it has become. Come have a great time and support an organization that make our local way of life worth bragging about! Plumas Arts is our region's most active nonprofit cultural programming agency. 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. EVENT ADMISSION:
