Welcome to the 2013 AGO Region IX Convention in Bakersfield, California. We look forward to seeing you here and hope you will find the surprises of Bakersfield and the County of Kern a great reason to come early or stay an extra couple days. Within two to three hours of Bakersfield are the majestic Giant Sequoias, the rugged California Coast and the greater Los Angeles area with a variety of activities for anyone who wants to do some additional adventuring.

There are many outstanding organs in our houses of worship and we are blessed with a community that supports the organ and its music. Explore this site and find out what we have in store for you in Bakersfield.
