HESTIVAL exists to celebrate camping of all varieties. Cultivating a comfortable and unforgettable experience for all attendees is paramount.
From glamping tents and beautiful premier sites, to RV’s, truck campers and overland rigs set against picturesque backdrops, there’s a place for every camper at HESTIVAL, from first timers to seasoned vets.
While HESTIVAL isn’t billed as a music festival, it’s been known to have some pretty incredible acts on stage throughout the weekend. We are committed to bringing in national headliners who appeal to a large variety of music fans. In the past bands like Rising Appalachia and California Honeydrops have taken the stage. In 2024, we are excited to announce the following lineup:
Friday, April 26th: Six Dollar String Band & Dragondeer
Saturday, April 27th: The Pink Stones & Nikki Lane
In the spring, HESTIVAL will return to the beautiful and unique location of Big B’s Delicious Orchards perfectly situated on the Colorado Plateau between the mountains of Aspen/Carbondale, the Grand Mesa of the Western Slope and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
In the fall, HESTIVAL will be debuting a Pacific Northwest venue in Darrington, Washington located at the foothills of the majestic North Cascades, along the Sauk river and in close proximity to world class mountain biking and hiking.
