Okay, people, listen up! This is NOT a drill. Our 10th annual Spring Bash + Splash is right around the corner, and as you know, we take our fun seriously here at Winter Park Resort. So, we put together this handy dandy guide to help you make the most of these four action-packed weekends of free concerts, themed events, and nonstop spring fun. It’s the perfect time to plan a weekend getaway to the slopes, plus, we got you this 20% off slopeside lodging deal so you can stay steps away from all the action!
High fives and good times await, so plug in these springtime tunes, and let’s get started.
April 5 – TheBigWonderful Beer Fest & Bluegrass
You know what pairs well with blue skies and sunny runs? Live bluegrass, unlimited beer samples from 20+ breweries, and crafts. Get your tickets now and kick off the first weekend of Spring Bash + Splash by listening to live tunes from Pixie and the Party Grass Boys while you sip on everything from crisp IPAs to flavorful pilsners. Then, stroll through the slopeside craft market and find your next piece of statement jewelry or artwork from talented local craftsfolk.
This event sells out FAST. So, get tickets today for you and your crew!
April 12 – Carve Out Hope & Bucket Banked Slalom
Carve Out Hope is all about fun in the sun and supporting our community! Join us on April 12 for a springtime celebration benefitting the Grand Foundation’s H.O.P.E. Fund. Enjoy a free concert from Rob Drabkin, the Bucket Banked Slalom, and resources for mental wellness.
The Bucket Banked Slalom is our annual banked slalom snowboard race and silent auction fundraiser held in honor of Winter Park Competition Center alum, Ben Lynch. Riders can sign up to race down a curvy course with tight banked turns. One racer runs the course at a time, and each racer gets two runs. The best of the two is the time used for final results. All proceeds benefit the Grand Foundation H.O.P. E. (Healing Opportunities through Prevention Efforts.)
Let’s come together and build each other up outside!
April 19 – 90s Retro Bash + High Fives Retro Shred-A-Thon
Ready to party like it’s 1999? On April 19, come rock out to angsty anthems during a free concert from Ninety Percent 90s, watch the High Fives Retro Shred-A-Thon, show off your grungey getups at the costume contest (grand prize: $500), and get your fill of nostalgia at our popup experience.
If you’re new to Spring Bash + Splash, here’s how the High Fives Retro Shred-A-Thon goes down. All you have to do is sign up to participate and raise as much money as you can to help out athletes who have experienced life-changing injuries. Prizes will be awarded for a variety of categories, and you’ll get to spend the day outside doing good and crushing your turns. Color-blocked snowsuits and mullets aren’t officially required, but highly encouraged.
April 26 + 27 – Beach Bash & Spring Splash
Hope you packed your snorkel because we’ve got a full weekend lined up with plenty of beachy vibes and splashdowns! On April 26, debut your best dance moves at a free concert from The Expendables, and get ready for some serious fun in the sun at our beach lounge. Then, stick around for our highly anticipated annual pond skim on April 27. Brace yourself for some legendary jumps, splashdowns, and getups. (Psst: You might want to bring a towel.)
