Dry Diggings Festival Delivers Reggae Vibes

Reggae Experience at El Dorado Fairgrounds

Placerville, CA- As the mercury pushed into the 90’s over Labor Day weekend in Placerville, the unmistakable chill of Reggae music kicked into full swing at the annual Dry Diggings Festival.

Billed as Beer, Camping & Music, fans converged for  a few days of fun and relaxation at El Dorado Fairgrounds. We ditched the office for a few brief hours to comingle among fans, chill backstage and share a couple frosty Altamont Beer Works brews while soaking in the good vibes.

Steady Arrivals All Day

The El Dorado Fairgrounds offers quick and easy access off US-50. Fans greatly appreciate the in and out privileges which provides walking access to local merchants including a Raley’s. Great for resupplying campers!

Keeping Cool in Vendor Area

Both the general layout and custom event layouts allow the El Dorado Fairgrounds to cater to the needs of both the fans, vendors and artists. It’s a comfortable and convenient event venue.

Altamont Beer Works

What’s a festival without cold beer? We have no idea. Altamont Beers Works did a wonderful of job supplying fans with hoppy goodness and great service . Our favorite? Kapt’n Kush, a double IPA brewed in collaboration with Auburn’s Moonraker Brewing.

Under the September Sun

Fans were getting baked under the warm California sun. The good news, plenty of places to grab some shade for a quick cool down.
