Colorado Music Festival 2026 - Badger Music & Arts Festival | Badger Music & Arts Festival

Colorado's Newest Music Festival

Three Days of Sound, Art & Community

August 14-16, 2026 | Hartsel, Colorado

Badger Music & Arts Festival brings a fresh new experience to Colorado's festival scene. Set in the stunning high plains of Hartsel, just 90 minutes from Denver, this intimate camping festival offers something truly unique.

Unlike the massive commercial festivals, Badger creates an immersive community experience where music, art, and connection take center stage. Our carefully curated lineup spans bass music, electronic, and beyond—all under the vast Colorado sky.

At 9,000 feet elevation, you'll experience Colorado like never before. Dance through the night, watch the Perseid meteor shower light up the sky, and wake up to breathtaking mountain views. This is Colorado festival culture at its finest.
