Experience autumn at its finest in the heart of the Rockies at Avon’s FreeFall Bluegrass Festival, October 9–11, 2026, in beautiful Harry A. Nottingham Park. New to Avon in 2026, FreeFall Bluegrass Festival finds its new home, where live music, mountain scenery, and community come together beside beautiful Nottingham Lake and beneath the fall foliage of Beaver Creek.
Throughout the weekend, festivalgoers are invited to enjoy high-energy performances from top-tier bluegrass artists, set against one of Colorado’s most scenic backdrops. Crisp mountain air, vibrant fall colors, and a welcoming community atmosphere create the perfect setting for a three-day celebration of music and the season.
