After a seven-year hiatus, one of the Rocky Mountain's most beloved music festivals is making its triumphant return. Targhee Fest 2026 takes place July 10–11 at Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, Wyoming, nestled in the shadow of the Tetons — and if the lineup is any indication, it's going to be worth the wait.
An Intimate Setting, an Incredible Lineup
What sets Targhee Fest apart from the mega-festival circuit isn't just the jaw-dropping mountain backdrop — it's the feeling of being part of something close-knit and special. This isn't a sea of 50,000 strangers. It's a gathering of music lovers in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
And the 2026 roster is stacked:
Friday, July 10 Gates open at 3:00pm, with performances from Ken Pomeroy, Larkin Poe, Lukas Nelson, and headliner Marcus King. Night owls can catch Jason Scott & the High Heat at the legendary Trap Bar late-night show (21+, separate ticket required).
Saturday, July 11 Gates open at noon for a full day featuring The Wood Brothers, Neal Francis, JJ Grey & Mofro, Ryan Bingham & The Texas Gentlemen, and Saturday night headliner Charley Crockett. Neal Francis closes out the weekend with another late-night Trap Bar set.
It's a roots-rock, blues, and Americana lover's dream.
Tickets: Don't Sleep on This
Targhee Fest has a tiered pricing structure, and the price goes up the longer you wait. Two-day festival passes start at $349 (Tier 1, now sold out) through $499 at the door. Kids 6–12 are $50, and children 5 and under are free.
Late-night Trap Bar tickets are $65 each (21+ only) and extremely limited — the Trap Bar is famously small and intimate, so these go fast.
Tickets are available at ticketsignup.io.
Camping Under the Stars
Grand Targhee's designated festival campground sits just below the venue, with sweeping mountain views and a meadow vibe that's hard to beat. Options include walk-in tent sites ($249) and undesignated meadow sites with car access ($300 for 3 nights). A handful of designated RV/van/trailer spots remain, though most are sold out.
Camping check-in opens Thursday, July 9 at noon. Showers are available on-site near the campgrounds, and no open fires are permitted (gas grills and stoves are fine).
No parking pass? No problem — free parking is available at Teton High School in Driggs, with shuttles running regularly to and from the resort throughout both days.
More Than Just Music
Grand Targhee Resort is fully operational during the festival, so if you want to squeeze in a morning mountain bike ride, scenic chairlift ride, hike, or round of disc golf before the music starts, you absolutely can. The lifts are open from 9am–5pm and the bike park opens at 10am. It's a pretty unbeatable combination: shred in the morning, rock out all afternoon and night.
Food and drink options are plentiful, both inside the venue (food trucks, beer, wine, and spirits) and throughout the resort (Trap Bar, Powder Cache, Snorkel's Café, and the General Store).
What to Pack
Targhee weather in July can swing dramatically — warm sunny afternoons giving way to chilly evenings, with the occasional afternoon thunderstorm or (yes, really) snow. Pack layers, a rain jacket, sunscreen, and bug spray. Chairs and shade tents are welcome inside the venue, just follow the designated seating zones.
The Bottom Line
Targhee Fest has always been something special — an intimate, high-altitude music experience that combines elite talent with the kind of setting most festivals can only dream of. After seven years away, the return is shaping up to be something truly memorable.
Tickets and remaining packages are available now. Don't wait — this one will sell out.
