FREE EVENTS IN KEYSTONE

Are you ready for summer events in the mountains? Keystone Events has released the summer schedule with all the happenings.

One thing all Keystone summer events have in common is they are FREE to attend! That’s right; you don’t need to purchase a festival package to come and enjoy the music! From festivals to fests* to our Keystone Concert Series, we have you covered for weekend fun.

Keystone Concert Series- Friday Afternoons Throughout the Summer

Our free mountain music series starts on June 14th with local talent Jen Mack. On Fridays this summer, we welcome Colorado-based musicians to Keystone’s River Run Village. Grab your lawn chairs or blankets and take in the music from 4-6 pm. Keystone, Colorado, has family fun almost every weekend this summer. Check out our calendar to start planning your next greatest visit! 

Keystone Festivals – Two-Day Events Throughout the Summer 

You can swing by River Run Village in the heart of Keystone Resort and enjoy free live music from 1pm -5pm on select Saturdays and Sundays through the summer, even without a festival ticket. From Rock n’ Roll covers to Bluegrass tunes and Jazz in between, your toes will be tapping all summer long. Visit all four stages and find your next favorite band to sing along to. If the sun is beating down on you, don’t panic, we have a festival bar where you can purchase a refreshing beverage!

Pro Tip: If you see a food item that makes your mouth water,  attach your credit card to an a-la-carte RFID card and sample as much or little festival food as you’d like. Check out our FAQ for any RFID questions! 

Keystone Fests- June 29th, August 17th, and August 31st

Keystone’s Stars and Guitars 4th of July Celebration returns on June 29th this year. This kid-friendly event has free face painting, free 4th of July swag, and free music! Salida Circus will bring out quality aerial acts and acrobatics. Rocky Mountain Grateful Dead Revue will be bringing the sweet tunes of Jerry Garcia to Keystone Mountain. This is truly fun for the whole family and a great way to kick off the 4th of July Weekend festivities in the mountains.

Mountain Town Music Fest is making a comeback on August 17th. The Runaway Grooms are headlining Summit County’s favorite free outdoor concert this summer! Conner Orchards are also returning this year, selling their fresh Palisade Peaches.

Both events go from 1- 5 pm and are open to the public and are FREE!

Oktoberfest is our final Fest of the season! On August 31st, join us for a day of polka, lederhosen, and German Dancers. You can purchase a food pass if you want to try some German fare.  This event goes from 1-6pm.

Pro Tip: Purchase a Stein wristband to enjoy 3 craft beers and this year’s commemorative stein!
