Winter Warmer Festival

Welcome to the second installment of the cozy Winter Warmer Festival inside Bret Harte Hall at Roaring Camp. Let’s bring the community together to boogie a little bit when the days are short and there’s fewer things happening around town.
In addition to a day of great live music from some of our favorite Bay Area musicians, the festival will feature art vendors, full coffee bar, local craft beer & wine, free 10-minute massages, fresh churros, food artisans, family-friendly, supervised kids activities and most importantly, a S’mores Bar!
