Less water means a concentration of contaminants. Now more than ever, river habitat needs our help to ensure pollutants stay out of the water. Your participation as a volunteer or contribution as a sponsor proves you are an advocate for healthy waterways and riparian habitat. Remove garbage from the waterway to restore a healthy riparian ecosystem, enjoy time outdoors, make friends, and win amazing prizes! Prizes include local gift cards and swag.

featured BAND: Moonstone Quill

Born on Moonstone Road in Breckenridge, CO in the fall of 2020, the band began during the height of the Covid pandemic. Through the uplifting power of music, Moonstone Quill grew from a ski town favorite to a professional full time ensemble, sharing their music with the rest of Colorado and the world.

We are so grateful to all of the bands who generously offered to play at our festival as a sponsor. 
Check out these other fantastic bands!!
