2025 ULLRGRASS
Jan 31-Feb 2
Parfet Park
Named one of the Top Ten Outdoor Festivals in Colorado by the Westword, UllrGrass features a diverse lineup of bluegrass, newgrass, funk and jamband artists announced in September of the prior year.
The 3-day festival, UllrGrass (named for the Norse God of Winter – Ullr - pronounced ooler) is the brainchild and passion project of Chris and Susannah Thompson, long-time Golden residents who felt Golden needed a signature event in the middle of winter to bring the community together. Festival-goers dress in Viking regalia and celebrate community, live music, performing arts and craft beer.
The UllrGrass Beer Festival takes place on Saturday afternoon from 12-4pm. Patrons enjoy live music on two alternating stages while sampling craft brews and ciders from 30+ breweries from across Colorado. The evening shows on Friday and Saturday night will take place in Parfet Park under heated big top tents. Sunday is “Family Day” at UllrGrass; featuring an UllrEgg Hunt, craft activities and games. Food trucks provide a variety of tasty treats all weekend long.
“The only way this event can happen is with the support of our incredible Golden community”, adds Susannah Thompson (Co-founder). “It takes a village to throw a festival with more than 100 volunteers and 50 plus local businesses working together to pull it off. Every year we are humbled by the collaboration of our town.”
