Bluegrass music fills a riverside ranch in Lyons
Plan a Colorado getaway for RockyGrass, combining three days of bluegrass beside the St. Vrain with outdoor recreation and an overnight-friendly summer schedule.
Event details
Cottonwoods and the St. Vrain River create an intimate outdoor setting each July, as national bluegrass artists, workshops, and full days of performances fill the beloved Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons for three genuinely relaxed festival days. Workshop tents scattered around the grounds give curious kids an easy way to see instruments and technique up close between main-stage sets.
On-site camping and daytime programming give families with children an easier entry point than a typical late-night music festival, since much of the best playing happens in daylight with river access close enough for a midday cool-down between sets.
Three festival days and on-site camping make this a classic overnight summer trip rather than a single-day outing. Reserve a campsite or nearby Stay well in advance, pack water shoes for the St. Vrain and layers for cool evenings, and add Button Rock Preserve or nearby foothill trails to round out the visit. It is a genuinely intimate bluegrass gathering built for families who want music and a river in the same afternoon. Afternoon mountain storms are common in July, so pack a rain layer to go with sun protection for the lawn.
