The Arts & Entertainment

Grass Valley and Nevada County offer a rich repertoire of theater, music, and entertainment.  The community generously supports the arts.  Throughout the year, a number of theater groups, the Community Asian Theater (CATS) and The Foothill Theatre Company to name a few, delight local audiences. The Center for the Arts and the historic Miners Foundry Cultural Center, as well as other venues, host a diverse mix of theater, film, and other events.  And of course, the newest movie releases can be viewed at the various Sierra Theaters.

The beautifully forested Nevada County Fairgrounds is home to a series of unique events which draw attendees from miles around year round.  The popular Draft Horse Classic and Nevada County Fair are local classics.  Music in the Mountains offers a full spectrum of classic music spring, summer, winter and fall.  

The Neighborhood Center for the Arts provided adults with developmental disabilities an opportunity to grow to the best of their abilities through the arts and community integration.
