Family Tent
Bring along the whole family for an unforgettable day or weekend on Planet Bluegrass. Tube the St. Vrain River through Planet Bluegrass. Paint, sculpt, and assemble in the arts & crafts tent. Build sand castles on the beach. And join the variety of fun, planet-minded activities throughout the day including slacklining, nature studies, and much more.
As with all Planet Bluegrass festivals, kids 12 and under are free — quite the deal, considering the youngest Festivarians might have the best time of anyone at the Festival!
Activities
Wild Bear Mountain Ecology Center
Stop by Wild Bear’s booth and meet the Wild Bear! Learn about the local ecosystem and how we can help the earth. Complete the “Bingo Discovery Game” and come back to the booth for your special prize. Create an Earth Flag out of natural dyes to take home and make your special wood cookie necklace with your very own nature name. Remember, if the bear is sleeping, you should come back at another time!
Wild Bear Nature Center is a special nature center located in the mountains of Nederland, Colorado. Open to the public on most days, we offer workshops for people of all ages, including when school is not in session.

Strum, pick, and bow your way through the Woodsongs Instrument Petting Zoo! We provide a hands-on set-up of instruments for kids and adults led by our knowledgeable staff of instrument petting zookeepers.
The entire family can try out ukuleles, guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles, and more! We provide the instruments and you provide the curiosity.
