Denver's Escape to the Mountains

Escape the city and discover Colorado's most exciting new festival, just a short drive from Denver. Badger Music & Arts Festival transforms the high plains of Hartsel into a three-day celebration of bass music, electronic beats, and artistic expression.

Located in Park County—an easy 90-minute drive from downtown Denver via US-285—our festival site offers the perfect balance of accessibility and adventure. Leave the city behind and arrive in a completely different world.

Whether you're coming from Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, or anywhere along the Front Range, Badger offers a convenient escape without the long drive times of other destination festivals. Plus, you'll be back home Sunday night if you need to be.
