Groove to Live Tunes Across the Resort All Summer Long

You know what summer means, LIVE OUTDOOR MUSIC!! It’s the best season for hanging outside with a cold bevy, a good app, and some rocking tunes to enjoy. All summer long, we have live music all across the resort. On and off the mountain, in the courtyard, on the deck, we mean everywhere! Accompanied by lawn game, good food, and good vibes, you’ll want to be checking out one or two of these events this summer. Hogan’s has already started their weekly live music schedule every Friday, but there’s plenty more where that came from! Check out the summer schedule below, and keep an eye on the events calendar for more updates! (Hint: make sure to check the Live Music filter to see only events that have music!)

Grateful Gravel 2.0 presented by the Mad River Riders

Grateful Gravel provides a challenging cycling event featuring some of Vermont’s most picturesque landscapes and gravel roads that segues into a face melting gathering of community and friends to enjoy the song catalog of Hunter, Garcia, and the rest of the Grateful Dead.


An epic after party at Mt Ellen following the ride will feature TWO bands with TWO Dead shows. Zach Nugent, one of the best to cover the Grateful Dead, will headline another show in its ENTIRETY on the main stage! The torque level is turned up this year with our incredible local band, Running in Circles, playing an opening show, 8/27/72 at Old Renaissance Fairgrounds. This means hours of live Dead tunes all afternoon and into the evening!
