Welcome to the 35th Annual West Coast Ragtime Virtual Festival!

Welcome to the 2021 Ragtime Festival. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Festival is taking place as an online Virtual event, mimicking as much as possible previous festivals. Over the course of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, the weekend before Thanksgiving, many of the performers you look forward to seeing and hearing will be here. There will be familiar shows, including the Festival Sampler, Ragtime 1901, the Youth Concert, plus Special Sets. And the Ophelia Ragtime Orchestra from Norway is here! Just like last year, there will be no badges to purchase, and no hotel reservations, or travel expenses. Attendance is free. But (yes, there's always the "but") we ask those who can make donations to help support the musicians. After recovering the production costs of this year's festival, the remaining donations received during the weekend will go to the musicians. Donations may be made beforehand and any time throughout the festival. You can use the donation link just below this message any time, and there will be links at each of the festival events. We hope you will join us for what will be a very special and inspiring weekend, November 19th through the 21st. See you there!
