The first Norcal Experimental Music Festival event was held at the Guild Theatre in Sacramento,California on November 3rd, and 4th in 1995. Performers came from all over the western United States and Canada to create sound art and noise and be among peers that were doing the same thing.. and thus the NF "sound art" movement was started....

2013 marks the 18 year anniversary of NOISEFEST happening in the Sacramento area, and will be our 17th actual event.

After searching the web and beyond ..we have yet to find ANY other Noise/Experimental festival happening anywhere else in the World that has continued for as long as NorCal NoiseFest has..
we thank you for your patronage.
