Bluegrass Festival Certain to Sell Out

The 3rd annual Santee Bluegrass Festival will be held this Saturday, Sept. 22. Don’t wait until the last minute to get your tickets because without a doubt, this event will sell out.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $35 until 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21 at Santee City Hall, Building 6, 10601 Magnolia Avenue.

The final lot --approximately 100 tickets -- will be available at the gate for $40 beginning at 4:30 p.m.  A limited number of designated driver tickets will also be available for $25 at the door. Once the final few tickets are sold, you’ll be out of luck.

The event will take place from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Town Center Community Park East, 550 Park Center Drive (behind the Cameron Family YMCA/City of Santee Aquatics Center) and will feature live music from two renowned bluegrass bands along with 16 varieties of wine, 13 micro-breweries and 29 food vendors to sample. There will be 88 silent auction items, ranging from beach-cruiser bicycles to a Taylor guitar.
