4848 Festival

dates not announced yet

Three stages, three nights, and the whole Village turned into a festival at 4,848 feet. This is the big one every summer, with Greensky Bluegrass basically a house band at this point and a different headliner crew each year. Take bike laps or a dip in Shavers Lake between sets, then walk home instead of hunting for a shuttle. Our homes book out months ahead for this weekend, so do not sit on it.

Dates

Mid-July, Thursday through Saturday

The resort has not announced the next dates. We post them in the Journal the day they land, and the email list hears first.

What to book ahead

In the order they run out. Tickets and passes are sold by the organizer or the resort, never by us, so the links go straight to the source.
