MAMMOTH FESTIVAL OF BEERS AND BLUESAPALOOZA RETURNS JULY 31 – AUGUST 3 WITH LEGENDARY MUSIC & BEER LINEUP

2025 WILL MARK “THE LAST PARTY AT THE WOODSITE” WITH THE 2026 VENUE DETAILS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON

MARCUS KING BAND TO HEADLINE THE 29th ANNUAL FESTIVAL WITH THE ROBERT CRAY BAND, SAMANTHA FISH, TAB BENOIT + STEVE EARLE

[Mammoth Lakes, CA] – The MAMMOTH FESTIVAL OF BEERS AND BLUESAPALOOZA is proud to announce its line-up for the 29th Annual festival taking place July 31 through August 3 at the scenic venue The Woodsite. Fans will enjoy four days of blues & rock artists led by rising headliner Marcus King Band, 80 of California’s top craft breweries, an array of eclectic craft and food vendors, and VIP amenities. Tickets are on sale now.

“Sam’s Woodsite” has been the home to Bluesapalooza for 24 years, but the land has recently been sold so this year’s theme is the “Last Party at The Woodsite.” Sam Walton was the former owner of Whiskey Creek, the landmark building at the entrance to The Village, which later became home to the Mammoth Brewing Company. The Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza was launched in 1995 in the parking lot of Whiskey Creek before eventually moving to its current home at The Woodsite in 2001. Many community events have been held at the venue over the years.

 

Details on the 2026 venue will be revealed soon, so this is the last year to enjoy Bluesapalooza at The Woodsite. Discounted tickets will be available for local residents beginning in July, so we encourage everyone to join together at the 2025 Bluesapalooza.

2025 Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza 

An amazing lineup of artists will be featured on three alternating stages this year, including:
• The Bluesapalooza debut of chart-topping Friday headliner Marcus King Band
• Robert Cray Band, the Blues Hall of Famer who has won 5 Grammy Awards
• Tab Benoit, the Louisiana native who returns for his first appearance in 10 years
• Guitarist Samantha Fish, who will kick off the festival on Thursday night
• 50 Years of Songs & Stories with legendary Americana artist Steve Earle
• ZZ Ward, Taj Farrant, Monophonics, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Zach Person
• A total of 40+ performances on three alternating stages during the weekend

On Saturday & Sunday, the Grand Tasting is included with every ticket and features craft beer samples from 80+ California breweries, including hometown favorites Mammoth Brewing Company. Cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic beverages will also be offered.

The non-profit Mammoth Community Foundation is overseeing the volunteerism efforts, so when you tip your bartender or pay for parking, remember that this money is pooled together and divided amongst non-profit groups in the community. Last year, 20 local organizations received donations from Bluesapalooza totaling over $39,000, and the four-year total since 2021 exceeds $150,000 donated to local charities.

The largest ticketed event in the Eastern Sierra, Bluesapalooza is grateful for the support from many local partners, including the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Mammoth Lakes Tourism, Mammoth Chamber of Commerce, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, Mammoth Hospital, Mammoth Lakes Police and Fire Departments, Mammoth Community Water District, Mammoth Lakes Lodging Association, and local lodging partners, residents and businesses.

Festival Tickets are available for purchase now, including VIP, General Admission, 4-day passes, and Early Entry tickets. Visit www.mammothbluesbrewsfest.com.
