We’re very excited that Powabunga Music
Festival is coming back to Vail in December 2021. Powabunga was nominated one of the 10 bestemerging festivals in 2020 by USA Today.
The classic Rocky Mountain backdrop and cozy winter environment make for a
world-class experience that concert-goers won’t forget. Hit the slopes and
enjoy Vail’s shops and restaurants before rocking out in the evenings. Come
prepared with warm layers, as this outdoor venue is subject to Colorado’s
unpredictable weather.
Festival
Details
Powabunga takes
place on December 10th and 11th at Ford Park, east of downtown Vail. This
year’s lineup of artists features Rufus Du Sol, Bob Moses, Elderbrook, and
more. Doors open at 4 pm
and parking is free for the evening at the Vail Village structure starting at 3 pm. They encourage attendees to leave
bags at home to make going through security as easy as possible. Tickets are still
available for the entire event, but they will not last long! After-party events
are also available as add-ons for both nights after the official festival winds
down.
Things
to Do in Vail
When the festival gates are closed, Vail
is a great place to have a classic Colorado adventure. Hit the slopes at VailResort, or one of the nearby resorts like Breckenridge or Keystone. Go ice skating
and warm up with hot chocolate at the rink in the center of town. Explore the local restaurants and bars, then
walk it off at the Magic of Lights display, conveniently located
in the same park that hosts Powabunga. No matter how you choose to fill the
festival off-hours, get ready to get down once the doors open and the music
begins!
Where
to Stay and How to Get There
If you plan on staying for the weekend,
reservations are still available for the Evergreen Lodge, one of Powabunga’s official partners. For those looking to day trip or
save a few bucks on lodging, there are several shared ride options that will
get you to and from the Front Range without missing a single set. Colorado’s
popular Bustang specializes in
transporting folks from all major Colorado hubs to their favorite mountain
towns and back, or if you are an Epic pass holder, consider using the Epic Mountain Express for discounted
transportation options.
Living a few stops away from all of
Vail’s premier events is possible at Piedmont Apartments. Conveniently located in Avon, Colorado, we offer residents a
resort-style living experience in a popular mountain town, with one, two, and
three-bedroom floorplans to fit their needs. Contact us today to learn more about living at the Piedmont.
