RV Rentals at High Sierra Music Festival
The High Sierra Music Festival takes place around the Fourth of July weekend in the small town of Quincy in northern California. Since its start in 1991, the festival has evolved into a multistage event at the Plumas County Fairgrounds with over 10,000 people in attendance. The organizers have overcome financial difficulties that threatened to put an end to the festival, and their message to all the music fans and RVers is, "To paraphrase the words of Mark Twain: 'The rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.'" This year marks the 33rd for the festival. In past years, the festival has featured four or five dozen bands of different styles from all around the country. The diversity of the bands and artists that the festival features is one of the biggest draws for the crowds of music fans that descend on the small town of Quincy, California every year around Independence Day.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
You can enjoy a bevy of wonderful food and drink displays and then participate in arts and crafts events. "Swirl" is the tasting event for adult beverages. Each day of the festival, there are different costume themes, so feel free to express yourself with what the British call "fancy dress." For attendees with children, the Family Zone provides wholesome entertainment for kids of all ages.
ON-SITE AMENITIES
The High Sierra Music Festival is completely compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Clean Vibes partners with the festival to help maintain a green posture throughout the four days. You can attend yoga classes and guided music events to lift your spirits.
LOCATION
The street address of the High Sierra Music Festival is 204 Fairground Rd, Quincy, California, 95971. Quincy is in the middle of Plumas National Forest, so you can bring your hiking boots for the forest's trails and your telescope for stargazing into the Class-2 Bortle skies overhead when you get outside the town.
LINEUP
The musical lineup will be announced soon. Keep your eye on the festival website's lineup tab. You can also peruse the lineups of previous festivals.
RVING AT THE EVENT
RV camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If on-site camping is at capacity, then off-site camping will be provided along with a shuttle service. The fairgrounds have permanent restrooms and showers, and facilities for the festival will include ample portable toilets, a shower trailer, and a portable sink unit. Camping at High Sierra can be quite cozy, especially in the more popular areas such as Shady Grove, Hillside, and Big Meadow. The temperatures in Quincy routinely rise into the 90s in July, so you need to make adequate preparations for the heat. That includes making sure that you have enough water in your RV. Generally, you will need about a gallon per person per hour when attending the festival. It's important, too, to have strong sunblock, dark sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, and loose clothing that breathes.
