The California Jug Band Association is bringing the 24th Annual California Jug Band Festival, with a full day of free music celebrating one of America’s most distinctive and often-overlooked musical
traditions.
The 2026 lineup brings together jug band musicians from throughout California, including groups from the North Bay, East Bay, and Santa Cruz area.
From noon to 8 p.m., five California jug bands will perform: The Trolley Drops, Rivertown Skifflers, Paradise Park Jug Band, Washboard Rhythm Co., and Five Cent Coffee. Additional artists such as C.W. Bayer will perform short sets during the mainstage turnover between bands.
Admission is free, with donations to the California Jug Band Association.
