Fort Desolation Fest is Utah’s premier outdoor music festival, set in stunning red-rock country just outside Capitol Reef National Park. See some of the best Americana artists perform against one of the most iconic landscapes in the American West. This year’s main-stage lineup features Drive-By Truckers, Andrew Bird, Grahame Lesh & Friends, Rayland Baxter, Futurebirds, Tune-Yards, Bella White and more.
The campground is the heart of the Fort Desolation Fest experience. Reserve a camping spot—or one of our deluxe glamping tents—and wake up to desert views and fresh mountain air. Spend your days exploring the Capitol Reef National Park area, biking with your crew in the Fort Desolation Fondo, strolling through Torrey or kicking back in the campground. Then cap off each day with cold drinks, great food and live music under the desert sky.
Grab your weekend passes and get ready to camp out, cook out and rock out with us September 24–26, 2026.
