Spanish Peaks International Celtic Music Festival on September 18-21
The Spanish Peaks International Celtic Music Festival (SPICMF) is that, a Celtic music festival, but really so much more. We are more accurately a four day'destination-retreat' where internationally respected artists and scholars not only perform in concert, but share their musical talent and knowledge in a full range of upwards of fifty plus workshops, demonstration talks, and open (free) singing, dancing and playing sessions for all.
In addition we provide musical and cultural education at no charge to the schools in our county. An annual event, the Spanish Peaks International Celtic Music Festival, is now in its 18th year.

Caveman Musical Festival on Labor Day Weekend
Set against the backdrop of Monument Lake Resort, this event is more than just a music festival - it’s a journey back to a simpler time, where the rural past and a diverse present blend seamlessly. Here, folks from all cultures and walks of life come together in one unified spirit to celebrate the best in Americana music amidst breathtaking mountain vistas, clear waters, and the tranquility of nature.
Co-founded by West Texas troubadour Red Shahan, his bandmate Parker Morrow, and Monument Lake Resort proprietor Brett McGraw, the festival is a labor of love, rooted in the spirit of bringing people together in the stunning wilderness of southern Colorado.
