Welcome to the Fiddle & Folk Festival, Glenns Ferry,ID
April 29 – May 2, 2027
There’s nothing quite like a music festival.
It’s a place where strangers become neighbors, where joy feels contagious, and where the world slows down just enough for us to breathe, listen, and connect. When thousands gather for live music, something extraordinary happens—a shared pulse, a collective effervescence that lifts everyone into the same bright moment.
Our festival is built around that feeling.
“There’s just a completely different vibe at festivals. Everyone gets to hang out and enjoy their favorite music all day.” – Kygo
