Jan 27 – Jan 29 all-day

UllrGrass 2017The third-annual UllrGrass music and beer festival will be held in Parfet Park and the Buffalo Rose on Friday January 27 – Sunday January 29, 2017

The event includes something for nearly everyone kicking off with the UllrGrass Park Parade, followed by a festival complete with premier musical acts from Colorado to Nashville, a kids activity area, food vendors, artisan vendors, musician workshops and more. Golden is a vibrant, active, healthy community with a love of the outdoors and UllrGrass provides an opportunity to get outside and enjoy our town – even in mid-winter. Take in the views of Golden’s iconic Mesas from Parfet Park while grooving to the toe-tapping rhythm of a bluegrass, jamgrass or Americana band.
