Music scene · Big Bear Lake

This mountain resort town follows the seasons, with acoustic acts and cover bands at lodges, restaurants, and outdoor events for skiers and hikers. Local school music programs and church choirs support year-round activity. Los Angeles musicians sometimes drive up for resort bookings.

Lodge lounges, restaurant patios, community center event rooms, and seasonal festival grounds host most performances. The town relies on visitor traffic rather than a permanent local music circuit.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby San Bernardino and Los Angeles scene occasionally passing through.

Contact resort lodges and restaurants about seasonal entertainment, check community center bulletin boards, and maintain ties with the San Bernardino and Los Angeles scene for off-mountain gigs.
