UllrGrass Music and Beer Festival
January 29–31, 2027
UllrGrass is a three-day bluegrass music and craft beer festival held each January in Parfet Park in downtown Golden, in the Rocky Mountain foothills. The festival is named for Ullr (pronounced “ooler”), the Norse god of winter. Festival-goers dress in Viking regalia to celebrate community, live music, performing arts, and craft beer.
UllrGrass is the brainchild and passion project of Chris and Susannah Thompson, longtime Golden residents who felt the town needed a signature event in the middle of winter to bring the community together.
