BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The inaugural Bakersfield Pickleball and Music Festival on Nov. 13th will feature a pickleball tournament, live music, vendors and a beer and wine garden.

The festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 13th at Jastro Park in downtown Bakersfield.

Pickleball is traditionally played on a badminton-sized court with special Pickle-ball paddles, made of wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, but slightly smaller.
