Event Aimed at Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday
America’s Mountain Festival
The 2026 event will be held at the Tava House Properties in downtown Woodland Park on Saturday, July 11.
AMF promotes itself as a celebration of the music, art, and culture of the West. “The event will feature an award-winning lineup of Western/Red Dirt performers,” said Waggoner, who is also the chief executive officer of the Tava investor group, the entity constructing the Tava House property at Woodland Station and the location of the festival.
“We believe that music is a universal language that has the power to unite people from all walks of life. Our vision remains to continue creating a world-class festival that brings people together to celebrate the power of music and promote cultural understanding,” Waggoner said. “New this year is a Western Art Show. We are also working on a few new additions to keep folks entertained all day long.”
The feedback from attendees at the inaugural event (ranging in age from children to adults), the community, sponsors, artists, and the news media was overwhelmingly positive. “We were truly blown away by the outpouring of, ‘Please do this again!’,” Waggoner said.
This year, as America celebrates its 250th birthday, “We aim to broaden our horizons and reach an even wider audience by showcasing a lineup of both established and emerging artists,” said Heather Burrows, AMF Operations Director. “We are also adding a Colorado artists’ songwriting contest.”
“We are in search of a Colorado artist to open the festival, Burrows said. “Stay tuned for our announcements at later dates.”
America’s Mountain Festival is not just focused on putting on a great show. ” We’re also dedicated to making a positive impact in our community,” Waggoner said. “We continue to work with city officials, local businesses, and first responders to make the festival safe and attractive to all.”
“We are seeking sponsors for this second year,” Waggoner said. “We want to have a group of businesses and organizations that would like to remain with the festival over the years as we plan to grow beyond just a one-day event.”
