What's the Buzz?

you may have already heard...

...but Pre-Sale has begun and cabins are being snatched up! There has been a lot of excitement (and questions) surrounding the festival, so we want to take a moment to let you know what's up.


WHAT TO EXPECT @ BEAR MUSIC FEST

keeping it small

Rocking out in the desert with 50,000 strangers can be a good time… but we’re betting that you’re craving something different - and Bear Music Fest will not disappoint! We’ve created an intimate & immersive weekend festival, an event that will give you space to stretch out and surround yourself with soulful tunes and tall pines rather than massive crowds and... well, you get the point.

a festival for music-lovers

We’re not focusing on massive stars, specific musical styles, nor age demographics - the Bear Music Fest is an event for music-lovers rather than a "fan-fest." It’s simple: you’re a fan of great music, and we consider it our duty to introduce you to artists that will excite and inspire you.

connect with our artists

We want to bring you an intimate and personalized experience. We’re challenging our artists to give distinct performances tailored to our amazing Sierra setting. 

Artists will play multiple sets throughout the weekend - so you can go see your favorite acts again! And for truly devoted listeners, be sure to attend artist-led jam sessions and song circles. We'll also be highlighting all of our artists in email newsletters throughout the year so we can get to know each other a little better.

Who are the artists? Announcement coming soon...

bring friends & family

We are a family-friendly festival... and we mean it! We want EVERYONE to cut loose, which is why we will be providing supervised shows and activities for youngsters. 

Enjoy the Main Stage show while performers entertain your little ones at our Junior Stages (just don't forget to pick them up afterwards!). Private babysitting will also be available at additional cost for those heading to late night lodge hangs and the Saturday Night Party!
