Immersed in pure Colorado Rocky Mountain splendor, the name “Keystone” is not only synonymous with excellent skiing but also with an array of fun festivals. From a premier culinary fall event to a tw0-day gathering focused on bacon, bourbon, art, and live music, Keystone is known for hosting a range of excellent festivals and events each year.

And while visiting the area, consider spending the night in any one of these top-rated Keystone hotels. With that in mind, here are the top festivals in Keystone, listed in chronological order:

Align in the Pines Summer Yoga Series

At a cost of just $5 per session, this yoga series runs from June through September and is a great way to enhance your relaxation and overall well-being during your visit to Keystone.

Keystone Bacon and Bourbon Festival

Featuring, you guessed it, lots and lots of bacon and bourbon, the Keystone Bacon and Bourbon Festival is designed to put smiles on people’s faces every June. You’ll be treated to all the bacon and whisky your body can handle courtesy of some of Colorado’s finest distilleries and pork providers.

And while you indulge, you’ll be treated to live music during the entire weekend and to special activities like a scavenger hunt offered to keep kids happy and occupied. In a messy and often mean world, festivals such as this offer pleasures that are simple and easy, but also special because pigging out on bacon and booze probably isn’t something you do every weekend.
