New 4th of July bluegrass festival coming to Atascadero 

New festival is free to attend

–After some years of being dark on the 4th of July radar, Atascadero will now be home to a brand new Independence Day experience — the 4th of July Bluegrass Freedom Festival at Atascadero Lake Park.

The year is 2017, and years of drought have given way to a terrific rainy season that filled the Atascadero Lake and sets the stage for the return of family fun for the 4th of July.

The event will include:

• Family-fun amusements
• Vendor & snack fair
• 4th of July community games
• BBQ dinner
• Boat relay races
• And a bluegrass concert headlined by Snap Jackson and the Knock on Wood Players

The festival is free to attend. For barbecue tickets and more information, click here.
