Had enough of the sizzlin' summer heat? Come to the Big Bear MountainTwilight Music Festival (formerly “Bluegrass, Bluejeans and Beyond”) on Saturday, July 31, for a mid-summer break from the hot temps to enjoy cool mountain breezes and great mountain music. The Big Bear Discovery Center Amphitheater is the stage for four hot bands delivering non-stop music in a laid-back atmosphere from 4:00 pmto 9:00 pm.

Surrounded by Jeffrey Pines and mountain aromas, come back and enjoy the sounds of country, bluegrass, folk, Celtic and a sprinkling of classic rock with a few nods to the past; all for the amazing cool price of 2 adults for $25. Teen prices are $10 for ages13-18 and children 12 and under along with music-loving pets on leash are admitted free. Tickets are available online at
