Squaw’s village to turn into brew-jazz fest

Cold beers and hot music will come together at Squaw Valley at the 11th annual Brews, Jazz and Funk Fest that supports the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.

Some of the nation’s most recognized jazz and funk legends will perform under the peaks of Squaw Valley, including headlining acts Orgone and Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk. The Brews, Jazz and Funk Fest will take place Aug. 11-12 from 2-8pm in the Village at Squaw Valley.

Festival-goers can listen to continuous live jazz and funk music on two stages while sampling beers from more than 20 breweries including Deschutes, Lagunitas, Sierra Nevada and many more. Beers are $4 each, limited to ages 21 and older. A $5 entry donation to the festival is also requested. All proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe.

The festival is open to all ages with well behaved dogs welcome on leashes.
