Arts & Culture

Swing by a sin­gle event in Pinedale and you will find your­self sur­round­ed by a large pool of tal­ent­ed, com­mit­ted and enthu­si­as­tic artists, per­form­ers, and cre­ators. Some events are steeped in the rich his­to­ry of this region, like the Green Riv­er Ren­dezvous, while oth­ers cel­e­brate the cur­rent Pinedale cul­ture, like the Wind Riv­er Brew Fest. 

The Sum­mer Sound­check con­cert series brings the com­mu­ni­ty and vis­i­tors togeth­er in the park. Numer­ous races and marathons chal­lenge you to fire up your com­pet­i­tive spirit. 

The phe­nom­e­nal Pinedale Fine Arts Coun­cil works hard to bring you cul­tur­al events from around the world and the Pinedale Com­mu­ni­ty The­atre presents jaw-drop­ping per­for­mances each year. Being a mem­ber of the audi­ence for any of these pro­duc­tions is an absolute priv­i­lege and pro­vides won­der­ful insight into the tal­ent, ded­i­ca­tion, and pas­sion of Pinedale’s com­mu­ni­ty members.

Some of the most rec­og­nized names in the Rocky Moun­tain craft brew­ing scene gath­er in Pinedale for the annu­al Wind Riv­er Brew Fest each Sep­tem­ber. Pinedale’s own Wind Riv­er Brew­ing Com­pa­ny hosts this autum­nal kick-off event. 

With live music, a vari­ety of food ven­dors and oth­er activ­i­ties tak­ing place (run the Beer Mile at your own risk), you can help Pinedale’s newest fall event con­tin­ue to become one of its most popular. 

Whether you’re a local or a vis­i­tor, you can pre-pur­chase tick­ets for this sell-out event, and use your com­mem­o­ra­tive cup to sam­ple a num­ber of hand-craft­ed, award-win­ning brews. You can even cast your vote for the Wind Riv­er Brew Fest People’s Choice Award!

For four excit­ing days in mid-July, Pinedale hon­ors the moun­tain men, explor­ers and Native Amer­i­cans of this his­tor­i­cal area with the annu­al Green Riv­er Ren­dezvous. The Rocky Moun­tain Fur Trade of the ear­ly 1800s brought trap­pers and explor­ers to the Green Riv­er Val­ley, and moun­tain men like Jim Bridger forged the path for the pio­neer car­a­vans of the Ore­gon Trail. 

You can cel­e­brate these ear­ly explor­ers’ impact on the his­to­ry of west­ward expan­sion in the Unit­ed States at the Ren­dezvous. From Muse­um of the Moun­tain Man activ­i­ties to a show-stop­ping parade, to his­tor­i­cal re-enact­ments and night­ly rodeos, you’ll be hap­py to know those cul­tur­al events are in high sup­ply … and so is the beer.

Pinedale Fine Arts Council’s Sound­check Con­cert Series has been a sum­mer­time sta­ple for over a decade. Span­ning across three months, you don’t want to miss these free, open-to-the-pub­lic concerts. 

Enjoy craft beer and a vari­ety of food ven­dors while gath­er­ing with locals to lis­ten to res­i­dent and tour­ing musi­cians on an open-air stage in the park. The com­bined scenic loca­tion and incred­i­ble music becomes the per­fect sum­mer soundtrack.
