Red dirt country music will echo throughout the mountains of Woodland Park this weekend.

For the second year in a row, America’s Mountain Festival will bring a slew of red dirt musicians to the tiny town, including headliner Aaron Watson; Walker Montgomery, the son of John Michael Montgomery and nephew of Eddie Montgomery; TikTok star Tyce Delk; Jenna Paulette; and Colorado’s own Matt Skinner Band.

Opening the festival is Kenya Reese, winner of the 2026 America’s Mountain Festival Songwriters Competition. Thom Seehafer and Charlie Chambers, the hosts of the Teller Time podcast, will serve as emcees.

Red dirt country, which originated in Stillwater, Okla., gets its name from the color of the soil and is laced with more rock, blues and outlaw country influences.

The festival runs from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday at the festival grounds, 201 Saddle Club Ave, Woodland Park. Tickets are $65-$135, free 10 and younger; americasmountainfestival.com.

Part of the proceeds go to Rifles 2 Reins, a Colorado nonprofit that serves veterans and first responders through equine programs, and Northeast Teller County Fire Protection District.

The day’s events also include a fun zone for kids, food trucks, vendors, military displays and interactive exhibits.

“This festival was created to celebrate everything that makes Woodland Park and the Pikes Peak region special,” said festival founder Derek Waggoner.
