Join Greenbelt Alliance on June 5 for foot-stomping, hot licks, and soulful harmonics at the 5th annual Bluegrass for the Greenbelt festival. This fun-filled day of bluegrass music features two stages and kid-friendly activities at the historic Dunsmuir-Hellman Estate in the Oakland Hills.
Headlining the festival are Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen, two legendary country rock pioneers with bluegrass roots. Hillman is a former bassist for The Byrds and Pedersen is formerly of the Desert Rose Band. Also featured are boundary-bending hot upstarts Crooked Still, The Wronglers, and award-winning Laurie Lewis & the Right Hands.
The small stage will feature The Tuttle Family with A.J. Lee, Nell Robinson and Red Level, and A.J. Downing & Buick6. Find out more on Facebook.
Bring a picnic or enjoy food and drink for sale. The Dunsmuir mansion will be open for tours, and children can enjoy pony rides, face painting, a petting zoo, and more. The event is accessible by public transit with free bio-shuttle rides from the BART. Telephone for Info: (415) 543-6771
Proceeds benefit Greenbelt Alliance. For more than fifty years, Greenbelt Alliance has been working to protect the region’s natural areas and working farms and to create sustainable cities.
