Transfers apply only to unused tickets. Once a ticket has been scanned for entry and a wristband has been issued, it may not be transferred, shared, or reassigned to another person.

To transfer your ticket, please log into your Tixr account and follow the instructions following to update your ticket/registration information, and switch the name on the ticket.

Single day pass holders receive a single day wristband which will allow you to stay on site and attend the late night show (note: entry to the High Sierra Music Hall is a separate ticketed event, as it always has been) however you cannot camp or stay overnight with a single day pass.

There will be single day non-camping passes available for each day. These can be purchased in person at the GV Chamber of Commerce.

The 2026 HSMF is located in Grass Valley, CA at the picturesque Nevada County Fairgrounds.

Yes there are. Our exceptional health professionals who have been with High Sierra for years will return once again to provide great care. 

There are hotels in Grass Valley and Nevada City as well as a slew of AirBNB and VRBO options in the area.

We're pleased to offer shuttle service for High Sierra attendees who are staying off-site, and for camping attendees who want to explore the local area. Shuttle passes are $25 for the entire festival and available online and at the festival Box Office, Gate 1 shuttle stop, and Merch Booth.

For shuttle hours and details, please visit our ticketing page and click on "Shuttle Pass."

There is a pool at the Gold Country YMCA in Grass Valley, a five minute drive from the Fairgrounds and a variety of swimming holes at the nearby Yuba River.

Yes it is. Camping is first come first served unless you have purchased a FestivALL Pass, which comes with early entry.

Camping is first-come, first-served.  Saving space for other patrons is not permitted.  

The Nevada County Fairgrounds offers two restroom buildings complete with showers.  Additionally, a shower trailer will be placed near Gate 6 of Hillside.

RV camping is available at the fairgrounds, with multiple options to fit your needs. The FestivALL RV Package includes full hook-up sites, on-site RV sites, and dry camping spaces located along Lions Lake.

For those looking for additional amenities and a quieter setting, the Grass Valley RV Resort, conveniently located just across the street from the fairgrounds, offers a pool, showers, cornhole, BBQ grills, and more. It’s an excellent choice for families or anyone looking for a less-crowded yet close-to-the-action experience. We’ve reserved several of their premium sites as part of our FestivALL Grass Valley Family Package.

For ADA Patrons with an On-Site RV pass, we can accommodate you in the ADA RV area.  This area is near Gate 5 and has hookups.  You will need to show your On-Site RV pass and the blue disability placard (or license plate).  Once you have purchased your festival tickets and on-site RV pass, please contact us so we can add you to our list of ADA patrons with a hookup. 

We can accommodate some vehicles along the ADA camping area for car camping if their medical condition requires them to have their vehicle next to their camp.  Otherwise, there is ADA parking adjacent to the ADA camping area.  

ADA patrons are permitted one guest (or companion) to accompany them in accessible seating areas and viewing platforms.

The camping areas at the Fairgrounds are generally comparable in distance to the stages that Hillside and Shady Grove were in Quincy, depending on which stage you plan to visit.  There is also a stage near the main on-site parking area, the Far Out Amphitheater. 

While we do not offer traditional “car camping” at the Fairgrounds, most designated camping areas are located adjacent to their corresponding parking areas for convenient access.  In some cases, we can park vehicles along the perimeter of the camping areas. 

Please reference our festival map for more information. 

There are various parking options available. 

On-site vehicle parking is available where you can park in the fairgrounds' main parking lot near Gate 5. 

Shady Grove parking, where you can park just inside Gate 4.

Day parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is available throughout the day and evening; $10 per vehicle, paid upon arrival. Vehicles may not be left overnight for this option.

A nearby Express Lot where you can park your car for the weekend and shuttle in.  $25 per vehicle for the weekend.

The outdoor stages will begin around 1pm each day and end at 11pm each day. The late night High Sierra Music Hall and Troubadour Sessions will continue indoors after 11pm. 

As long as you have your festival wristband you can come and go as you please.

Pets are NOT allowed at the festival.

Yes, however, cans and bottles while permitted in the campgrounds are NOT permitted inside the inner Fairgrounds. 

Bicycles are NOT permitted in interior festival grounds but they will be allowed in the campgrounds and we will have racks available at the exterior of gates 1 and 5.

Generators may only be used in an assigned dry camping area, where the noise will not cause an annoyance to neighboring campers.

Generators must be off by 10:00 p.m. Loss of power may create exceptions to this rule; any exceptions require the approval of Fairgrounds Management.

There will be festival viewing areas at the three large outdoor stages, The Main Stage, The Vaudeville Pavillion and The Far Out Amphitheatre.

See our FestivALL page for all details!

Complementary shuttle service for FestivALL hotel patrons will run to and from the Gold Miner’s Inn in Grass Valley. More information on shuttle service will be emailed to FestivALL hotel patrons in advance of the event.
