WHAT IS ULLRGRASS

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 brain child 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.”

UllrGrass is a volunteer-powered event with proceeds benefitting A PRECIOUS CHILD and the CORAL CREEK KIDS MUSIC PROJECT, which delivers music education and performance to kids in Colorado – more at https://apreciouschild.org and http://www.coralcreekmusic.com/kidsmusicproject
