2025 Denver Bluegrass Convention

The First Ever Denver Bluegrass Convention was a joyful celebration of music, community, and sunshine. More than 350 people joined us throughout the afternoon to hear dozens of talented musicians perform and compete. In addition to the fantastic bluegrass music, the day featured storytelling from two guest storytellers, a lively presentation from the harmonica club, plenty of good food, and a kids’ fun zone for our youngest guests. Ten prizes were awarded! See the winners below.

A special thank you to our host and sponsor, Grace United Methodist Church, and our supporters: Colorado Bluegrass Music Society, The Denver Folklore Center, Swallow Hill Music, and Luther Strings.
