Sustainability
We partner with Minimal Impact—a women-owned company whose purpose is to alleviate the toxic burden on the environment and to reduce dependence on fossil fuel—so that we can keep the live music events we love as eco-friendly as possible. We ask that you’ll follow these best practices:
• Remember Your Cup: We will supply you a reusable eco-friendly cup when you first arrive. Remember to bring it back each day of the festival.
• Bring Your Own Reusables: Water bottle, coffee mug, cutlery, napkins, plates and bowls.
• Sort Your Waste: Know the guidelines and recycle right. Our green team staff and volunteers are also here to help you sort your waste properly.
• Walk, Carpool, or Use Public Transportation: Less pollution, less emissions!
• Leave Banned Items at Home: Do not bring single-use plastics, glow sticks, inflatables, balloons, glitter (unless biodegradable), stickers, flyers, confetti, styrofoam.
LocalWonderGrass
WinterWonderGrass is more than a music festival—it’s a family gathering celebrating mountain life, and connecting Steamboat Springs’ historic past with its vibrant present. This year, we invited local businesses to join us in shining a light on what makes Steamboat truly special: our community with its rich history, traditions, and authentic experiences that go far beyond the slopes. While Steamboat is renowned for its world-class skiing, it is also a real town, rooted in deep heritage and fueled by a strong, welcoming spirit.
Take advantage of all that Steamboat Springs has to offer while you’re in town for WinterWonderGrass! Go dog-sledding, explore Main Street, stop by the oldest ranching store in town, and so much more!
