Band Against Cancer is an annual event that raises money for Amador STARS, a non-profit based right here in Amador County that provides support, transportation, and other resources for those that are dealing with cancer. This year, the event will be held on Saturday, September 10th, 2022 at the Italian Picnic Grounds in Sutter Creek, California.

The event will feature live music from local bands including The Boxhorns, Triple Threat, Mike Rolf, Teal Wheels, and The Blowbacks.  Also on hand, dunk your local firefighters in a dunk tank.  There will be a Paint n’ Sip, luminary ceremony, as well as jewelry, weaving demonstration, corn hole tournament, quilt show, and so much more.  And don’t forget all the great food available for purchase from local restaurants and caters including Wing It, Ione Tacos, Coffee Tree, and She’s So Charcuterie.

In addition, there will also be a special event called Sip & Taste with the STARS from 3 to 6 pm where you’ll have the opportunity to try small bites and local Amador wines & brews.  Tickets for the Sip & Taste are $30 per person and you must be 21 years of age or older.

Band Against Cancer will take place on September 10th from 9 am to 9 pm.  Admission is free and so is parking.  For more information or to purchase tickets for Sip & Taste with the STARS, please visit amadorstars.org or call 209-267-1246
