Details
The inaugural Vertex festival takes place Aug, 5-7 2016 in Buena Vista, CO. A summer celebration of music, imagination, and the best of the Colorado outdoors.
Vertex’s vision is inspired by its majestic high elevation home where sky meets peaks, peaks meet valleys, and valleys meet rivers. The venue is nestled in sprawling rangeland at the foot of the Continental Divide and surrounded by the year-round snowcapped 14,000-foot peaks of the Collegiate Mountain Range. The festival site is known as Cottonwood Meadows, located a mile from downtown Buena Vista, Colorado in Chaffee County. Cottonwood Creek runs through the campgrounds and the festival site itself.
