The event will be headlined by 2019 Grammy Award-winning fiddler Michael Cleveland and his band Flamekeeper from Indiana, 20-year staples of the North Carolina music scene, Chatham County Line, and “the hottest band in the Wasatch” Pixie and the Partygrass Boys from Salk Lake City. 

This event is free and open to the public, with free parking available throughout downtown and in The Foundry parking garage. The Foundry features convenient parking, apartments, restaurants, a salon, a hotel, a dine-in movie theater, and a central plaza for community entertainment with easy access to an array of independently owned restaurants, breweries, bars, and retail shops in the downtown core.

“We’re very excited to provide two days of fun and entertainment to the Loveland community this year,” said Sean Hawkins, Executive Director of the Loveland Downtown District. “This will kick off another summer full of events and opportunities for people to enjoy live artists from across the country while supporting our local businesses. This year, the Brew portion of the festival is also expanding to include additional breweries from Loveland and Northern Colorado with special festival tasting options!”
