Bear Valley, CA…Join the Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway Association at the Grizzly Ballfield in Bear Valley on September 12th and 13th, 2026 for one of the last outdoor festivals of the season. The music and activities are free to enjoy, there will be craft vendors, food, and tons of kids activities, and even a little Byway swag. Find out more at www.scenic4.org.

We invite you to join us in Bear Valley to enjoy one of the year’s last free, outdoor, live music events. The centerpiece of our celebration will again be our day-long, live music event at the Ball Field in Bear Valley, affectionately known as “Hermitfest West.” Visitors may want to consider making a weekend of it and check out the entire Scenic Byway from Arnold to Markleeville. As we always say, “Come Play on the Pass” with us and September is a great time to visit the mountains.

This is a family-friendly event with a kid’s activity area, and we welcome your children, but please keep the little ones in your sight.
