Once a summer, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, there’s a celebration of global music that takes place. At this four-day festival at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley you can sway to new sounds, discover a whole new culture through music, and dance the night away to one of your favorite music groups.

Held every mid-July, the festival presents high-caliber global sounds of established names. Past headliners include Lucinda Williams, Richard Thompson, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Ani DiFranco, Ziggy Marley, Cake, Michael Franti, Los Lobos and startling discoveries include Dakhabrakha, Magic Giant, Beats Antique, and Yemen Blues.

For 4-days music is played on 8 different stages. The family-friendly festival is filled with activities for kids and adults, workshops and artistic opportunities. WorldFest allows festival-goers to experience global music in a whole new way and allows everyone that experiences this festival to gain a deeper understanding and connection to our world.

Since 2000, The Center for the Arts, a non-profit arts organization, has grown into a leading presenter of music, dance, theater, comedy, literary, visual art and family programming. The Center presents over 150 events per year from its location in downtown Grass Valley. The Center purchased California WorldFest in 2015.

This year Honey of the Heart is teaming up with their superfreinds and supercollaborator colleagues to form a super band with BrightSide Blue! As Tyler Ble of the Crazy Horse said "We need a bumper sticker that says, “I Brake for Beautiful Collaborations.” The alchemy that went down between @honeyoftheheart and @brightsideblue was a glorious thing to behold this past Friday. We couldn’t easily tell you what kind of music it was. It was all about how it made us feel: Lighthearted, blissful and #tappedintothesource Thanks to all the musicians and everyone who came out!"

Blending Soul, Funk, Soul, World, and Roots, this group provides powerful three and four-part harmonies, dueling epic guitar solos, conscious powerful vocals, full rhythm section, danceworthy recalibration and more! Come n' git it!
