Planet Bluegrass of Lyons, Colorado is located just 20 minutes from Boulder and is one of the most beautiful and intimate music venues in the state. The massive wooden stage has played host to stars such as Alison Krauss and Union Station, Jerry Douglas, and Ricky Skaggs. Unlike the Telluride Bluegrass festival, which is awesome in its own right, Rocky Grass offers music on a smaller scale, so that you can drink, dance, and sing without the throngs of people. Located in the rugged mountain town of Lyons, Oskcar Blues Brewery is a great place to wet your whistle before and after the festivities. And, for those who prefer to camp nearby, Bohn Park is a great location and offers a free bus to Planet Bluegrass events.
