Oh my, what a winter it has been on Planet Bluegrass... Tickets and camping for all our 2013 festivals went onsale the first week in December - with 4-day passes for the 40th Telluride Bluegrass selling-out in under 4 hours, 3-day RockyGrass passes selling-out a month earlier than ever, and discount 3-day passes for Folks Fest selling out weeks earlier than last year...

But fear not, if you haven't yet made your plans for summer 2013 on Planet Bluegrass, we still have tickets and camping available for our 23rd Annual Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons. Order yours right now at shop.bluegras.com or 800-624-2422.

Thanks to everyone across Festivarian Nation for another magical season on Planet Bluegrass. This loving community of music-loving Festivarians continues to inspire us to craft the greatest festivals on the planet. With the 40th Telluride Bluegrass on the horizon, we're setting our sights on the greatest year ever. But let's not forget the powerful memories we created together in 2012...

We opened our 2012 festival season with 2 of America's most prestigious bluegrass festivals... Our summer solstice gathering of Festivarian Nation at the 39th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival and our celebration of traditional bluegrass music at the historic 40th Annual RockyGrass on the Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons, CO.

Then in August we turned our attention to songs and stories at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons, CO. This year's "summit on the song" welcomed Lyle Lovett, Amos Lee, Iron & Wine and many more for an inspiring weekend of camping and music along the St. Vrain River.

The Planet Bluegrass musical season continues through the fall and spring with concerts in the Wildflower Pavilion on Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, CO. These cozy indoor evenings feature bonfires along the St. Vrain River (weather permitting), beer & wine, and the intimate acoustics of our "cathedral of bluegrass."

In 2007, Governor Bill Ritter, jr. declared June 23 Colorado Bluegrass Day - honoring Planet Bluegrass for "using renewable energy to help protect our environment while producing a world-class festival." This honor reflects our years of leading the way in sustainable festivation and the green festival movement in America.
