For 15 years, Palisade has been celebrating its love for hot pickin' guitars, outstanding artistry, blazing fiddles, and Colorado sunshine. Located along the Colorado River at Riverbend Park, The Palisade Bluegrass & Roots Festival brings together some of the country's top bluegrass artists and Colorado's favorite emerging stars for three days of non-stop festival vibes—a family-friendly, river lovers event.

Learn about special events both inside the festival and around the town of Palisade, CO. Explore Colorado Wine Country, ride the Fruit & Wine Byway, paddleboard or float the Colorado River, or paint with your friends at the local gallery.

Enjoy live performances, artisan vendors, camping, paddle boarding, local wine and distillery tastings, lavender tours, painting workshops and other festival activities.
