High Mountain Hay Fever is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization whose mission is to bring a quality, destination event that will benefit the entire community. It has raised $800,000 for the benefit of several Wet Mountain Valley charitable concerns, with a strong focus on children’s health. A great group of volunteers work year round to make it happen, avoiding the sprawl and congestion of large festivals while still offering nationally recognized blue-grass talent and staying true to its motto: Small Scale, Big Time!
