The venerable roots music festival is held the weekend closest to the summer solstice, June 17-20, in the rugged San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Tickets and camping go on sale at 9 a.m. MST, on Wednesday, December 9 here, or over the phone at 800-624-2422.

Camping passes for the festival’s longest-running campground, Town Park, sold out in November using an online lottery with entries from 47 different US states and many foreign countries. A limited number of holiday-priced 4-day passes ($30 discount) will be available beginning December 9. These discount passes typically sell-out within several weeks.
