We're talking bacon mac and cheese, spinach and bacon salad, bacon ice cream, bacon tacos, bacon bloody marys... the list goes on and on! There is also a bourbon sampling tent and live music all weekend from some rockin' bands.  

Keystone Wine & Jazz Festival

Mid-July This festival is a little slower paced, with over 300 varieties of wine on hand to taste and free live Jazz music throughout the weekend. Pair your wines with gourmet food prepared from some of Keystone's finest restaurants and enjoy the great views in River Run and perfect July weather.  

River Run Village Art Festival

Late July Over 80 artists come from across the country to display their work in this juried show in the heart of Keystone.  Stroll through the village and see work from painters, sculptors, ceramicists, jewelers, photographers, mixed media artists and more.  This event is totally free and a great reason to visit Keystone!  

Bluegrass & Beer Festival

First Weekend of August This is hands down Keystone's most popular and longest running summer festival!  This weekend is so much fun!  Sample beer from a huge variety of craft breweries while you listen to some of the best Bluegrass bands in the country with 3 different stages to maximize your music intake.  Enjoy amazing food and have fun at this unique summer beer festival in the Rocky Mountains! Don't miss it and book lodging and tickets early because this weekend typically comes close to selling out!  

Mountain Town Music Festival

Mid- August This one day event in mid-August focuses on great music and a Colorado 'harvest' theme.  We all love peaches and you'll see tons of great peach-infused cuisine.  Catch live music from some big headliner acts and enjoy unique vendors with goods and art, many from Colorado!  Stay tuned for this year's music lineup!
