It is with great pleasure that we announce the return of the Fall Strawberry Music Festival in 2025! One Strawberry Music Festival a year is not enough. We hope you are as excited as we are to be together twice next year!
Next year’s fall festival will take place October 17th–20th at the Nevada County Fairgrounds. The format for next year’s fall festival will be almost exactly the same as in the spring, with one big exception—the events will start one day later. We hope this change makes it easier for all Strawberrians to attend.
While this re-inaugural fall event will only last four days total, with early entry on Thursday, October 16th, and Main Stage entertainment from Friday through Sunday, there will still be plenty of time for music to be played, memories to be made, and for The Strawberry Way to shine!
Strawberry times two means TWICE the good news! Please stay tuned for more details regarding tickets, RV sites, lineup, and general public service announcements for both the Spring and Fall 2025 Festivals.

Strawberry is a multi-day, family-friendly campout with activities and entertainment for all ages. This festival is an annual reunion for a multi-generational community of music lovers whose roots date back to 1982. No matter where you land on Strawberry’s magical, musical timeline, we are grateful for your participation and look forward to seeing you at our upcoming festival!
