Discover local bands and harmonica stars at the 2026 Spring Harp Fest. Bring your kids, your pets, and your cooler for a fun day at Harry Griffen Park.
Since 1999, Spring Harp Fest has offered an all-volunteer, free, outdoor harmonica music festival with stellar soloists. This year, Brody Buster, past winner of the International Blues Challenge, headlines the event, backed by the Blue Healers. Other performers include SoCal artists Billy Watson and the International Silver String Submarine Band, Troy Sandow, Gonzalo and Friends, the Harmonica John Frazer Band, Jump Start with Mike Maldanado, and Dan McDowell with The Tradition.
The Spring Harp Fest also features food trucks, dancing, and a competition where amateur players battle to win adult and youth “Unknown Players” trophies.
Spring Harp Fest is a 501(c)(3) organization and has donated more than 5,000 harmonicas to young musicians. Learn more at www.springharpfest.org.
