This weekend, August 2nd and 3rd, River Run Village in Rocky Mountain Keystone, Colorado resort real estate hosts the 12th Annual Bluegrass and Beer Festival. The knee-slapping Appalachian melodies by several nationally acclaimed “hillbilly” bands will be complemented by great food, interesting brews, and activities for the children.
Bring the entire family out to experience mountain music and real estate in Keystone’s River Run and we will show you available Keystone CO real estate here in Expedition Station, Jack Pine Lodge, Silvermill, The Springs, Red Hawk, and other condominium complexes. Maybe you’d rather look into other Keystone neighborhoods such as Mountain House, Old Keystone CO homes, Ski Tip Ranch golf homes, or at more rural Summit County homes and cabins that will meet your vacation and recreation needs.
The weekend event is available with free admission and free music. Then more than two dozen microbreweries are offering unlimited beer samples from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. for $30 per person each day. Beginning at noon in the Beer Garden, along with acoustic bluegrass music, the Blue Moon Beer Garden will offer $4 beers and select wines. The excellent restaurants from River Run and Keystone will join the fun with their own booths, offering wonderful down-home cooking a la carte. Energy Alley will be entertaining the children with inflatable features and “wacky” activities.
Listen to the line-up. Out at Events Plaza Stage, Pavilion at Keystone, and Arapahoe Courtyard Stage, we’ll be hearing from Quickdraw, Grass It Up, Oakhurst, Spring Creek, White Water Ramble, Kantankerous, 3 Left Feet, and the Ackermans! The Ackermans retain a traditional rugged and roughhewn dynamism carried forth from decades and generations of playing together. They wear tuxedos and perform around a single microphone, milking the ‘hayseed’ image of back-wood folks. Every instrument is featured as they meander through foot-stomping fiddle tunes to waltzes to old-time music.
The bluegrass musical genre caught on like wildfire in 1946 when it created as much excitement as rock ‘n roll would a decade later. This year’s Bluegrass and Beer Festival will benefit the High Country Conservation Center. It is sponsored by Sprint, Blue Moon, Comcast, KSMT, Keystone Neighbourhood Company, Keystone Resort, SOBE Energy, and SOBE Life Water. Free parking is available at the River Run Lots located off Gondola Road. One heads up: Dogs and other pets are prohibited at festivals in River Run Village.
