Bear Valley Music Festival
Festival Ticket Prices
Whether you are visiting Bear Valley for one concert in August, or planning to stay the entire two weeks, the Bear Valley Music Festival has something for everyone and in every price range.
Seven different symphonic concerts are presented during the first two weeks in August along with five non-classical performances. You can purchase a Season Ticket which will include most of the concerts, subscribe to just the classical concerts or sign up for the first or second week packages. If subscribing doesn't work, then single concert tickets can be purchased for as little as $20 (depending on the concert) to fit every seating preference and budget.
Each concert features the finest musicians and some of today's hottest classical artists in the beautiful setting of Bear Valley. Our intimate performances are held in the tent amongst the tall pines and along the tall rock croppings.
You can conveniently view our seating chart online and order your tickets by phone or mail. Our friendly staff will be able to help you with any questions you might have (209) 753-2574. Season tickets will be on sale by March 30 and early bird discounts will be available until May 1. General ticket sales will begin in May.
No matter what your musical taste or budget, the Bear Valley Music Festival has something for everyone!
