Studio Tour 8


Three Rivers has many talented artists and craftsman and biennially the Arts Alliance of Three Rivers sponsors an Artist's Studio Tour where local artists who open their studios and we get to see some wonderful creative work and the studios where the art is created.

This year 18 studios were on tour providing a great day exploring the area finding these hidden jules nestled in the Oaks.

Steeped in Arts and Music!

The 35th Annual JazzAffair sponsored by the High Sierra Jazz Club.
The Jazzaffair is a wonderful event in Three Rivers with people coming from all over the country to hear great Jazz in the foothills of the Sierra's. There are 3 venues around town with jazz playing full time for 3 days.

My favorite venue is the Lion's Roping Arena where music is played in a band shelter and we sit on the grass under the stars. I love live music of any kind as long as it is good - and this is good!

Our own High Sierra Jazz Band is famous and can be heard on cruise ships and other locations around the world.

The Jazzaffair is not the only music to be heard in Three Rivers. We have a Redbud Festival in May, performances at the Three Rivers Art Center, a Concert on the Grass in the Fall and live music at various locations every weekend.

Venture up to Three Rivers and relax along the river while enjoying some great music. We would love to see you here.

Isn't Water Wonderful?

Anyone who has stood in awe along a river, next to waterfalls or a lake, has experienced the nearly hypnotic effect of water on the human heart. We just can't seem to get enough of it. Being near water simply allows us to slow down, calm down, and enjoy being alive.

Three Rivers has 4 rivers running through it leading to Lake Kaweah. Wherever I go in Three Rivers I am along the river of the lake and it soothes my soul. What a great place to own your own spot on the water!
