Day One of Treefort 2025

Happy Day One, Treefort pals! 

Are you ready for five full days of Treefort goodness? We sure are! It’s a gorgeous sunny day and we are ready to explore the streets of Boise in search of some tunes new, old, and everything in between!

Assemble your fest fits, gather your dance crew, put on your prep-playlist, dust off your fanny pack and whip out your steel cups because it’s time to get groovy at Treefort.

Take your time getting your festival legs ready for the next five days – remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint!

Need help during the fest? A visit to the friendly Ranger Station will do the trick. Don’t know where to start and don’t wanna talk to anyone? Check out our curated schedules.

Get ready for a full day–there is SO much to experience on Day One. Main Stage opens tomorrow, but tonight is for the club kids. Bop around from TMH to SSC to Neurolux to Space Banana for all sorts of great tunes. Go explore, Treefort traveler!

DIVE IN TO DAY ONE!

START FORTIN’ AROUND!

Of course, we’ve got plenty of tunes to catch today (THE Delicate Steve, for example; plus the dreamy dulcet tones of Jessica Pratt, and indie rockers Ovlov, to name a few) but there’s soooo much more than music. Join our forts in kicking off 2025!
