The experience
What's special
RockyGrass is a three-day traditional bluegrass festival held every July at Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons, Colorado, along the North St. Vrain River, with the 2027 edition on July 23 to 25. The organizer, Planet Bluegrass, calls it the 55th annual and says it has celebrated traditional bluegrass for over 50 years, with legendary pickers, rising artists and generations of music lovers. Audience members, whom it calls Festivarians, set their chairs along the river just feet from the main stage. The same ranch hosts the RockyGrass Academy, a week of classes, July 18 to 22, 2027.
How it works
Tickets typically go on sale in January, are general admission, and are limited to four of each type per customer, with vehicle passes and most camping passes sold separately. The festival runs daily from about 10 am to 10:30 pm, rain or shine. Entry uses a numbered tarp line: numbers are handed out randomly around midnight and each person may bring one tarp up to 10 by 10 feet. Children 12 and under are free. Pets are not allowed, and a free shuttle serves parking and campgrounds.
Who it suits
It suits bluegrass devotees who want three days of music with camping on or near the ranch, and families, since children 12 and under are free for the festival and camping and a Kids Camp is listed among the Academy programs. Be ready for altitude of 5,371 feet, strong sun and cold nights; the organizer advises sunscreen, plenty of water and care with alcohol, especially for visitors from lower elevations.
