Ullrgrass Music and Beer Festival

What is UllrGrass?

Jan 29, 30, 31 2027 Parfet Park, Golden Colorado

UllrGrass is a three-day winter bluegrass music and craft beer festival held each January in Golden, Colorado. Named one of the Top Ten Outdoor Music Festivals in Colorado by Westword, UllrGrass features a diverse lineup of bluegrass, newgrass, funk and jamband artists.

The 3-day festival, UllrGrass (named for the Norse God of Winter – Ullr -  pronounced ooler) is the brain child and passion project of Chris and Susannah Thompson, long-time Golden residents who felt Golden needed a signature event in the middle of winter to bring the community together.   Festival-goers dress in Viking regalia and celebrate community, live music, performing arts and craft beer.  

The UllrGrass Beer Festival takes place on Saturday afternoon from 12-4pm.  Patrons enjoy live music on two alternating stages while sampling craft brews and ciders from 30+ breweries from across Colorado. The evening shows on Friday and Saturday night will take place in Parfet Park under heated big top tents. Sunday is UllrGrass Family Day, a family-friendly winter festival experience featuring the UllrEgg Hunt, craft activities, games and live music. Some of the tastiest food trucks are on site all weekend long.

“The only way this event can happen is with the support of our incredible Golden community”, adds Susannah Thompson (Co-founder).  “It takes a village to throw a festival with more than 100 volunteers and 50 plus local businesses working together to pull it off.  Every year we are humbled by the collaboration of our town.”

UllrGrass is a volunteer-powered event with proceeds benefitting A PRECIOUS CHILD and the CORAL CREEK KIDS MUSIC PROJECT, which delivers music education and performance to kids in Colorado – more at https://apreciouschild.org and http://www.coralcreekmusic.com/kidsmusicproject‍ ‍
