THE LONGEST RUNNING BLUEGRASS AND BEER FESTIVAL IN GOLDEN, COLORADO IS BACK FOR YEAR 12

UllrGrass Music & Beer Festival kicks off January30-February 1, 2026

GOLDEN, CO

The UllrGrass Music & Beer Festival will once again transform Parfet Park into a winter wonderland of music, craft brews, and Viking revelry as it returns for its 12th annual celebration, January 30 – February 1, 2026.

Named after the Norse god of winter, UllrGrass has become a Colorado tradition, drawing fans from across the state (and beyond) for three days of live bluegrass, newgrass, and genre-bending jams paired with the best craft beer and cider Colorado has to offer.

The festival kicks off Friday night under the heated Big Top tent, where four high-energy bands light up the stage for an all-out dance party. On Saturday, festival-goers don their finest Viking gear to raise a horn at the UllrGrass Beer Festival, showcasing breweries and cideries from across the state. Sunday closes the weekend on a high note with another full day of live music, community, and winter magic.

“UllrGrass has grown into so much more than a festival — it’s become a Golden tradition. Every January we get to see neighbors, friends, and families come together in Viking spirit to celebrate music, craft beer, and community. That’s what makes this weekend so special.”

— Chris Thompson, Co-Founder of UllrGrass

The 2026 UllrGrass lineup will showcase standout talent from Colorado and across the U.S. Full artist announcements will be released soon.

“There’s nothing quite like the energy of UllrGrass — the costumes, the music, the beer, and the people all light up Parfet Park in the dead of winter. It’s proof that the Golden community knows how to throw the warmest party in the coldest season.”

— Susannah Thompson, Co-Founder of UllrGrass
