Poudre River Mishawaka Reggae Music Festival

After our exciting hiking and biking, we went down the road to Mishawaka for their 5th Annual Reggae Music Festival.  We had never been to a concert there but had driven by enough times to know that it is a hippie hang out and we were interested in finding out what it was like. From the road it doesn’t look like much, but there are always a lot of motorcycles and cars pulled off to the side. When we walked in, it was apparent why it is such a cool and popular hang out. The stage is about 5 feet from the Poudre River!

They have an outside seating area where you can have food and drink, or you can stand right in front of the band. A lot of people were playing hacky-sack and dancing to the different reggae bands. There were a lot of people with dreadlocks and Jamaican colored outfits.

We also saw quite a few river rafters floating down who would pull off to the side of the river to sit, watch and listen to the bands before floating away. It was a neat experience. Even though Mishawaka is a much smaller venue, I’d have to rank it up there with Red Rocks in terms of the cool factor.
