Mark Your Calendars-One Month Until Keystone's Bluegrass & Beer Festival

Can you believe it? We're officially just one month away from one of Keystone's most anticipated summer events: the 28th Annual Bluegrass & Beer Festival! On August 2nd and 3rd, 2025 River Run Village will once again burst to life with the soulful sounds of live bluegrass and the refreshing clinking of craft beer glasses.

If you haven't secured your plans yet, now is the time to start dreaming of mountain air, toe-tapping tunes, and delicious brews. This year, we're especially thrilled about the incredible lineup, featuring the legendary Billy Failing Music Act as a big headliner! Known for his exceptional banjo skills and captivating stage presence, Billy Failing promises to deliver a performance you won't want to miss. You may know him best as the banjo player with the Billy Strings Band. Get ready for some serious pickin' and grinnin'!

Enjoy the beautiful scenery, incredible food and of course unlimited beer tastings (plus a few other options) at one of Colorado's favorite summer festivals.
