If you’ve never heard of
@treefortfest, you’re not alone, but it’s easily one of the best weeks you can have in the U.S.
Treefort Music Fest is a five-day, multi-venue arts and music festival that takes over downtown Boise, Idaho every March. Now in its 14th year, it brings together over 500 emerging and established artists from around the world, all performing across dozens of walkable venues.
What makes it stand out is how immersive it is. The entire city becomes the festival.
And it goes way beyond music. The “forts” are their own worlds:
• Filmfort
• Comedyfort
• Foodfort
• Storyfort
• Alefort
• Hackfort
• Dragfort
• Podfort
• Kidfort
You can move through the day however you want. Live music, panels, comedy, food, storytelling, tech, drag, podcasts, all happening at the same time.
It’s one of those rare events where you show up for the experience and leave with a list of artists you’ll follow for years.
I take the whole week off every year.
5 days to party, 2 days to recover....
