Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable day of music, community, and fun at Buchanan Park. The festival was a huge success, and we’re excited to share photos and highlights with you soon. Stay tuned—and mark your calendars—we’re already looking forward to Mountain Music Fest 2026!
From the stage at Mountain Music Fest 2025, Stephen Brackett of the Flobots shares an inspiring message about the mission and impact of the Wooden Hawk Foundation. He highlights how each year’s festival directs funds toward educational projects in area high schools. The net proceeds from MMF 2025 are earmarked for Conifer High School to build a Futures Center and Alumni Center, with similar plans scheduled for Clear Creek High School in 2027. His words underscore how Mountain Music Fest—the Foundation’s premier event and primary fundraiser—continues to fuel meaningful educational and community initiatives year after year.
Get ready for an unforgettable day of rhythm, melodies, and pure mountain magic! Join us on August 16, 2025, for the Mountain Music Fest, a 9-hour celebration of music set against the stunning backdrop of Evergreen, Colorado.
Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of Evergreen as our outdoor stages transform into a haven for music enthusiasts. Surrounded by towering pines and crisp mountain air, this festival promises an unparalleled experience that goes beyond just music.
Established in 2023 by the Peeters Vanags Family of Evergreen, Colorado, the Wooden Hawk foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) Colorado Corporation with a mission to provide ongoing support to the Evergreen mountain community school system in areas such as educational, mentoring and financial.
The Foundation embodies the Peeters Vanags family’s commitment to leaving a meaningful and enduring mark on the world.
