Beaver Creek, Colo., June 13, 2016 – This year’s annual Independence Day celebration in Beaver Creek will be full of energy from 12 p.m. through the evening, on Monday, July 4.

Once noon hits, the gates are open for Stars, Stripes & Slides where games, free slides, bounce houses, face painting, Arts & Crafts and more are available until 5 p.m. on the grass by Centennial Express Lift. Colorado native Tyller Gummersall takes the stage at 2 p.m., enticing the group with tracks from his new album “Long Ride Home,” and hometown inspired anthems such as “Colorado Rain.” Enjoy “The Good Life” with Oregon’s Jackson Michelson, taking the stage at 4 p.m. for a delectable mix of feel-good tunes with a bit of Southern twang. Redhead Express, a four sister group from Alaska, performs at 6 p.m. Captivating crowds with their fiery melodies of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and bass, the sisters deliver raw, beautiful harmonies in “Roots” that speak to the country-lovers’ soul.
