Stratton brings West Coast-rooted festival to the East

Dec. 13-16—STRATTON—Stratton Mountain will host the first East Coast WinterWonderGrass Festival, Dec. 14-16. Music, winter sports, craft beer, fresh eats, and family is what makes up the three days of the WinterWonderGrass Festival. With deep roots in Colorado, California and now Vermont, the event has established itself as a leader in the winter lifestyle culture where the quality of experience outweighs the notion of quantity. WinterWonderGrass is an intimate gathering where inspiration and connection sit at its core. Its community is focused on sustainability, local non-profit support, nurturing the next generation and truly backing the arts, where together, we’ve planted the seed for long-term sustainability.

The festival will be focused around three days of music with bands like The Infamous Stringdusters, Keller and the Keels, Fruition, Ghost of Paul Reveres Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, Upstate, Pickin’ on the Dead, and many more. Bands will play on a Main Stage, in the Jamboree Tent, in the Pickin’ Perch Tent, and in The Soapbox during the main festival daily, starting around 2 p.m. each day.

Plus, beginning with a special kickoff on Thursday, Dec. 13, WonderGrass Grass After Dark shows will take place in the village at Stratton Mountain Resort at Grizzly’s and at the Green Mountain Room at Black Bear Lodge, beginning around 10 p.m. The kickoff is an Evening with the Infamous Stringdusters, which will begin at 9 p.m.
