Lineup
The 2020 lineup is better than ever, and you couldn’t pick a more beautiful setting than stunning Pagoda Springs for an outdoor music festival. Enjoy sitting beneath the pines, soaking in the mountain scenery, and listening to amazing music all day long and late into the night.
From September 4-6th, you can find some of the best music in the business down in Pagosa Springs. The folk festival hosts not only locally-recognized talent, but also some major national names in folk music and bluegrass. This year’s lineup includes performances from:
- Raising Appalachia
- Lucinda Williams
- Bowregard
- Way Down Wanderers
- Seth Walker
- The Tim O’Brien Band
- And More!
Workshops
One of the cool parts about the folk and bluegrass genre is the general willingness of artists to share their tips and tricks to help beginners and fans get a “behind the scenes” glimpse into their methods.
This festival features a workshop tent where players can bring their instruments to try and play along or test out different techniques, but it’s just as much fun to stop by even if you aren’t a musician, and simply sit and enjoy learning more about the music.
2020 workshops haven’t been announced yet, but last year’s workshops included a everything from songwriting to
soloing to vocal arrangements.
Kid’s Program
This festival is family-friendly, and to make the event accessible to folk fans of all ages, children 12 and under get free admission! There is also a special Four Corners Kids Tent where kid-friendly activities and programs will take place throughout the weekend.
Late Night
Attending the late-night lineup is a whole different experience at the festival. Sitting under the stars in the cool mountain air and enjoying live music starting at 10 and 11 pm is not only an exciting experience in the moment, but is a great way to make lasting memories with your friends and loved ones!
