VENUE   The Santa Cruz American Music Festival is proud to call Aptos Village Park its home. The park is a 10.3 acre “hidden gem.”  Located 14 minutes south of Santa Cruz and 40 minutes north of Monterey, it is the perfect setting to create an unforgettable musical experience that can’t be found elsewhere. For more than two decades, music fans & enthusiasts of all ages have gathered here to share the privilege of seeing world-class musicians in this intimate setting. The stage is set on an expansive grassy meadow surrounded by majestic oaks & redwoods, alongside a flowing creek. The acoustics in this natural amphitheater are unmatched, and fans gather here year after year to enjoy a great weekend of music together.  This year for the first time we will have some paid parking spots available at the park available on a first come / first served basis.
COMMUNITY   The Santa Cruz American Music Festival is a locally produced event that embraces a green philosophy for a sustainable community music festival. 10% of all sponsorship donations are given back to our community.
