Bluegrass in Salida, Colorado - Memorial Day Weekend
Near the headwaters of the Arkansas River - in Salida, Colorado - you will find a delightful venue for your holiday weekend and an opportunity to enjoy bluegrass music, food, drink and fun for all ages.
Bluegrass on the Arkansas, an annual fundraiser for the Salida Rotary Club, will be back Memorial Day weekend bigger and better than ever in 2012! Carin Mari and Pony Express is featured Saturday evening, May 26th, with a show at the SteamPlant Theater. Local Honey will open up the show starting at 7:00. Tickets for the Saturday evening show can be purchased through a member of the Salida Rotary Club or online through the SteamPlant.
As usual, bands will perform all day Sunday starting at noon in Riverside Park. The show will be expanded this year, lasting into the evening on Sunday. Spring Creek headlines the evening show wrapping up a day of impressive performances.
This is a free event that our community enjoys every year and that draws visitors to Salida. In addition to the line-up of bluegrass bands, volunteers from the Rotary Club have games available for kids making this a fun day for families.
The Salida Rotary Club will serve food and drinks as a fundraiser to help the youth of our community in the form of vocational and scholastic scholarships. Food options may be further expanded this year. Requests for proposals by food vendors are currently being accepted. And, of course, a selection of beer, wine and sodas will be available for sale.
