The announcement comes as a welcome surprise to fans and long-time attendees. Last year was a uniquely challenging one for the organization. Between flagging ticket sales, rising costs and high temperatures, producers expressed concern about the festival’s future financial viability.

County contract and other details still to come
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors considered a new contract with the festival at their Jan. 7 meeting, but ultimately deferred any action to a future meeting. The county has enjoyed a good working relationship with High Sierra for over 20 years, said Sheriff Todd Johns. Still, he said, he has some minor concerns that should be addressed. Supervisor Mimi Hall suggested that Johns be a part of future negotiations with the organization.
