WinterWonderGrass Colorado 2017

The first WinterWonderGrass Colorado festival was staged in Edwards before moving to Avon in 2014 where the festival was held through last year’s event at Nottingham Park. The 2017 debut in Steamboat Springs will feature a soon-to-be-revealed lineup of bluegrass musicians as well as a number of Colorado-based craft breweries.

“We have nothing but respect and gratitude for the people and businesses of Avon and Edwards who have supported us on this journey,” said WinterWonderGrass founder Scotty Stoughton. “The move to Steamboat allows us to realize our original vision of a truly integrated music and mountain experience, with on mountain events and a festival site next to the ski hill.”

The weekend of music and brews will begin Thursday, February 23 with a free welcome party featuring a performance by the WinterWonderGrass All-Stars at the base of the Gondola and a mountaintop dinner at Thunderhead Lodge atop Steamboat mountain. The fest will also offer workshops, pop-up bluegrass jams around the mountain and more. Special ski packages, excursions to nearby natural mineral hot springs and late night shows around Steamboat are also planned.
