South State 48 vol VI takes place in beautiful Carlsbad, CA from Thursday, November 5th – Sunday, November 8th, 2026. (24 hour jamming starts Friday.) Discounted hotel room reservations are now open to CBA members. If you’d like to stay at the host hotel, we strongly recommend you book your room ASAP. Although CBA has added many rooms, they typically sell out quickly! All night jamming rooms are “courtyard view” and if you’d like to be on the quiet-after-10 pm side , choose “Pool View”. To get the group rate you must use the link https://californiabluegrass.org/cbaevent/south-state-48/ to This is a jamming event! Tune up your guitar, rosin up that fiddle bow and get ready to pick 24/7. You can play music in the beautiful tree-filled courtyard all day and all night. As usual, there will be free workshops, curated jams, a band concert, and lots of fun surprises! When you get hungry (for something besides music), check out the Windmill Food Hall, conveniently located adjacent to the hotel. This food venue features a dozen different restaurants and a full bar.
You don’t have to be a guest of the hotel to enjoy this free jamming event or any of the extras (workshops, open jams, contests, and more), but if you’d like to stay at the hotel – don’t hesitate!
WORKSHOPS COMING SOON!
