Evanston Bluegrass Festival
The 2017 Evanston Bluegrass Festival (formerly Beer, Brat & Bluegrass) is a two-day festival held at beautiful and historic Depot Square in downtown Evanston, Wyoming. This years festival will be held on Friday, June 23rd from 5:30pm 10pm and Saturday, June 24th from 11am to 11pm.
We have new, exciting features this year. We will kick off the festival on Friday evening with a house concert and dinner in the Beeman Cashin building. The audience will enjoy an interactive event filled with music and storytelling in a comfortable, intimate environment with An Evening with Jalan Crossland with special guest C. Peter Fennell. The socially conscious company, Solavore, will treat guests to a specially prepared meal cooked by the sun in their innovative solar ovens.
On Saturday, the festival moves to the lawn and performers will entertain the audience from the professional outdoor stage. A diverse group of award winning bluegrass musicians have been selected to perform this year. Their styles range from traditional bluegrass, Celtic bluegrass to progressive bluegrass. Whiskey Slaps, Wild Mountain, Dodgy Mountain Men, The Two Tracks, Whippoorwill and headliners, Blue Canyon Boys and Brothers Comatose are among the lineup for 2017.Music from these nationally and regionally acclaimed bands will fill the air in this beautiful, and uniquely Evanston, setting.
The festival is a fundraiser for Bluegrass Evanstons Global and Local Educational Initiative and provides entertainment for the whole family. Bluegrass Evanston, the sponsoring organization, is a 501c3 charitable organization whose purpose is to produce an annual regional bluegrass festival to raise money for its educational initiative: To provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged children living in impoverished areas around the world and in our own community and, advancing a culture of caring, awareness and empathy about global issues within our schools and community. We do this with the added intention of promoting cultural tourism and economic development within our community.
