Proceeds support restoration of the historic Atascadero Printery

ATASCADERO — Get ready for a vibrant and music-filled Independence Day at the Atascadero 4th of July Music Festival, happening Friday, July 4, from 3 to 8 p.m. at the scenic Atascadero Lake Park, located at 9305 Pismo Ave., Atascadero.

Presented by the Atascadero Printery Foundation in partnership with Tiny Porch Concerts, this community celebration also kicks off the Tent City Limits Concert Series, with additional summer shows slated for Aug. 22, Sept. 19, and Oct. 17 at the historic Atascadero Printery Building. 

This year’s festival features a lively lineup of touring artists and local favorites. Kicking things off is the Tri-Cities Community Band, a beloved local concert group. They’ll be followed by Hot Buttered Rum, a high-energy string band blending jam, bluegrass, and folk traditions; Jordan Bush & The Packrats, known for their eclectic mix of old-time blues and bluegrass; and The Doohickeys, who bring a humorous twist to their California Honky-Tonk style.

Guests will enjoy local food vendors, wine tasting, and craft beer, all available throughout the afternoon and evening under the oaks by the lake. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs for the perfect summer celebration at Atascadero Lake Park, located at 9305 Pismo Ave., Atascadero, CA 93422. Tickets are $25 for online presale, $30 at the gate (subject to availability), and free for children under 18. Get your tickets now at my805tix.com/e/atascadero-4th-of-july-music-festival

All proceeds benefit the restoration of the historic Atascadero Printery Building, originally built in 1915 as the press building for the Woman’s National Publishing Company. The Atascadero Printery Foundation is working to restore and transform the space into a hub for arts, education, and community events. 

“We are incredibly excited to be hosting this year’s 4th of July celebration and partnering with Tiny Porch Concerts,” said Karen McNamara, president of the

Atascadero Printery Foundation. “A big thank you to the City of Atascadero for generously donating the park space so we can bring this joyful community event to life.” 

No outside food or alcohol is permitted. Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged, and food and drinks will be available for purchase on-site. Celebrate Independence Day with live music, local flavor, and a shared mission to help restore a beloved landmark in Atascadero’s history.
