WinterWonderGrass 2015 Lineup Announcement

As the snow begins to fall the crew at the WinterWonderGrass Festival are getting ready for their third year. Last year was a perfect weekend of Music, Brews and Mountains and we are excited about the announcement of this years lineup of musicians and events returning to the Vail Valley February 20-22nd, 2015.  This coming year WinterWonderGrass Festival will feature more than 20 bands and 15 Colorado breweries over three days.  A perfect storm of world-class bluegrass and acoustic artists, craft beer and libations set under blue skies and star filled Rocky Mountain nights is brewing.

WinterWonderGrass Stage

Fans can stroll the grounds, fresh off the mountain, still wearing their winter snow gear rotating between the two heated beer tents which are flanking the main stage and overlooking Nottingham Lake.  The beer tents will host the Colorado breweries where they will pour their signature brews from 2:30-5:30 pm each day along side the Pickin’ Perch and Jamboree stages. WinterWonderGrass is partnering with Great Divide Brewing Co. and Crazy Mountain Brewery as the festival’s presenting beer sponsors.

Focused on community, WinterWonderGrass is supporting local Vail Valley non-profits Chris Anthony Youth Initiative Project and Walking Mountains as well as the International Disaster Relief organization, All Hands Volunteers. WinterWonderGrass will work with Walking Mountains to increase their levels of sustainability and zero waste to offset environmental impact as well as offering three-day ticket holders a stainless steel commemorative festival mug to help cut down on single use plastics.
