The Rotary Club of Mt. Shasta hosted the 38th Mt. Shasta Blackberry Music Festival on Sunday, September 6, 2026 from noon - 6 PM.
The crowds were not deterred by the forecast - cool blue skies were the order of the day.
​Pies, Adult Beverages and Food Trucks all sold out. Thank you for supporting local Rotary projects!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2027
Same time - Same Place​

By far, the sentiment of the feedback received from the event:
"I just wanted to thank you all for putting in such a sweet event. And what a perfect day for it. It was so sweet. I saw so many people from the community and also lots of visitors and it was such a fun time. And the music was really good this year. So thanks to you all for all the hard work that goes into this event and I hope it was successful for you. 
- Amber P.
Thank you all so much for coming!

Pies...Pies...Pies!

The heart of the Mt. Shasta Blackberry Music Festival is baked into our blackberry pies. Rotarians, Interact students, and community volunteers hand-crafted and baked 457 pies the day before the festival.
We sold all the pies and apologize if you didn't get any while supplies lasted :(
​MOST IMPORTANTLY - All proceeds benefit local community projects.

Make. Bake. Transportation from ovens to Shastice Park made possible by the volunteers and the beautiful delivery van from Siskiyou Food Assistance. Thank you!

Shhhh...a limited number of these beautiful souvenir mugs will be available for $20 at the festival. Visit the Rotary Info booth in the vendor area to GET A HOT CUP OF COFFEE with your purchase and start your collection! 
All proceeds benefit local projects.

Blackberry Festival Music

A great reason to attend the Mt. Shasta Blackberry Festival is the music!

​THE BROTHERS REED at 2:00 pm
​
“The brothers blend of folk encapsulates the grit and humor of Midwest life with the swagger and serenity of the west coast. Their style evokes finger picking folk singers of the 60’s and 70’s with a contemporary and boundless edge.”

​Closing the festival from 4:00 - 6:00 pm will be THE VICTOR MARTIN PROJECT (VMP).
​Local star Victor Martin is putting together a unique band, for this year’s festival close out performance. It features neo-soul, funk, reggae and blues with Victor on saxophone and vocals and Patrick Wiseman on drums. While Bill Vallaire will perform on rhythm and lead guitar, Ryan Boslaugh will be holding down the bass lines alongside the talented David Reynolds on keyboard. An appearance will be made with guitarist/singer Allison Scull and a couple of surprise guests. Martin shares, “We are looking forward to having big fun.”
