Organizers of the inaugural America’s Mountain Festival presented the event poster to the City Council and confirmed the festival will take place Saturday, July 5, downtown in Woodland Park.
Festival representatives said the majority of sponsors are local businesses and that the event will be family friendly. Derek Wagner, the festival founder and producer, and Heather Burrows, the operations director, joined resident Mike Perini to present the poster. They said four artists are scheduled to appear: Curtis Grimes, John Wolf, Michael Martin Murphy and the headliner Ned Ledoux. Organizers asked the council to display the poster and thanked sponsors for local support.
Organizers encouraged ticket purchases and said gates open at noon for general admission; they asked residents to consult the festival website for full details. No formal council action was required for the presentation; staff accepted the poster for display in city offices.
