MeadowGrass Music Festival is the premiere music festival to kick off summer in the Pikes Peak region. Held Friday May 24 through Sunday May 26 at the La Foret Conference and Retreat Center (6145 Shoup Rd, Colorado Springs), MeadowGrass is known for attracting up-and-coming talent from the region and all over the world. Besides the amazing musicians, there are activities for kids (12 and under get in free with a paid adult), workshops, yoga, late-night shows for campers, and the 2nd annual Friday Night Beer Tasting while the music rolls around you. New this year: self guided tours of Ute Prayer Trees and the Historic La Foret Chapel. Amazing vendors offer a wide variety of food for all diets and retail items for all tastes. The property, several hundred acres of forest, canyons and historic buildings, is a great place to explore before the music starts or when you just need a break.
