The Bus Bros are proud to be a part of the first-ever Long Beach Bluegrass Festival, produced by Friends of Rec Park Bandshell (FORPBS) with support from the California Bluegrass Association (CBA). 

This event is full of amazing music and even better friends. The festival is BYO food and beverages, although there might be local food trucks that will visit the park. There will be a jamming area, food trucks, and drink specials available at the Festival After Party. 

This is a completely FREE show and open to the public, but this event needs your donations to help make it a success and support the bands! Visit www.forpbs.org to donate and help the cause.

There is bench seating for -600 plus significant surrounding areas for picnics, jamming, popups, etc. 

This is a public park and therefore only the Bandshell and bench seating is reserved for this event. All other areas are first come first serve, so plan on setting up early to save a spot! The CBA will try to reserve the Jamming Forest Area. 

All parking in this area is free. This is a public park, so parking is first come first serve. 

Note that on the right side of Federation, parking is a Bike Lan with No Parking signs. Most weekends the general public parks here regardless. Although we have never seen ticketing – Park At Your Own Risk!

Bands have special load-in and parking instructions.
