Glenwood\u2019s Two Rivers Park will play host to a special kind of music festival this weekend, one that promises to be \u201ca celebration of DIY creativity, the great outdoors, and sustainable living.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Orpheus Music + Arts Festival returns to the area one year after its 2018 Sunlight Mountain Resort debut with a bigger, more ambitious lineup of music, artists and kids activities.<\/p>\n

The festival runs from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Sunday and features 22 different bands playing 45-minute to hour-long sets. There will also be \u201cafter hours\u201d jam sessions at the Riviera Supper Club on Friday starting at 10:45 p.m., and on Saturday at Native Son starting at 11 p.m.<\/p>\n

Kids activities, which include volleyball, lawn games, arts and crafts, and something called a \u201ckinetic sand pit,\u201d will take place during the \u201cfree\u201d portion of the festival from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

Orpheus Music + Arts Festival is the brainchild of recent Denver University music school graduate Bridget Hartman, who said she created the festival last year to \u201cengage community through art and music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just an idea I had, and the community around me was receptive enough to make it happen through fundraisers and concerts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

That idea led to last year\u2019s festival, which was held at Sunlight, but Hartman said she moved the festival to Two Rivers Park this year so more people could attend, and to create access and partnerships with Glenwood businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we\u2019ve taken it to the next level because my partner Brian Trujillo, who runs Big Mountain Events, saw what we were doing and really liked it,\u201d Hartman said. \u201cWe\u2019re making it even more of a community event involving Glenwood \u2014 merging the Denver [music] community and the Glenwood community through music and arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hartman is a saxophonist who will perform with the bands Amazing Adventures and Men\u2019s Breakfast this weekend. The bands she chose for the festival, she said, were a mixture of people she\u2019s performed with and bands that reached out to her since last year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to keep it eclectic, have different sounds, different groups, and introduce to the audience all the different music people are doing,\u201d Hartman said.<\/p>\n

A new feature of the festival this year is the Glenwood Hercules Treasure Hunt. Based off Cotopaxi\u2019s Questival, the Hunt is a list activities in Glenwood that includes recreation, visiting businesses, donating, and taking photos. Participants use an Instagram account or email to record their feats. Prizes include tickets for Defiance Rafting, and passes to Iron Mountain Hot Springs, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park and the Glenwood Hot Springs, among others.<\/p>\n

Festival-goers may still camp at Sunlight this year, and a shuttle will be provided for campers to and from the festival. Sober drivers may also register for a DD pass (Designated Driver) and have their camping fee for the weekend waived.<\/p>\n
