Day One of Treefort 2026

The sun is out, the birds are chirping, the daffodils are shining like the sun, and it is time to PARTY!

We can’t wait for the next five days of exploring Boise in search of new tunes, yummy eats, beers with friends, and soooo much more. Get your festy crew together, dust off those steel cups, and don your disco pants, y’all. It’s about to get wild!

It might only be day one, but there is so much to do today! Main Stage opens tomorrow, which means today is all about discovering a new venue (there’s only 54 official ones, after all), stumbling upon some new tunes, and meeting new friends!

Bop around from Treefort Music Hall to Shrine Social Club (P.S. we have siiick new merch at SSC that you’re gonna wanna grab to rep this weekend) to Neurolux to Hap Hap for all sorts of great music, talks, gatherings, storytelling, and more.

Relive last year and get stoked for the next five days. ▶️▶️▶️

ICYMI:

We are SOLD OUT of Full Festival Passes! But don’t you fret–Main Stage Only passes are still available, so you can still come down to Treefort and experience hundreds of amazing artists from around the world!

FORTIN’ AROUND:

We have soooo many good tunes to catch today– like indie icons Tune-Yards, Basque rockers Kokein, or the party man himself Andy Frasco & the U.N., just to name a few. But, as always, there is soooo much more than just music! Go check out the forts as they kick off the 2026 fest!

📖Treefort for Good Presents: ECO-JAM 4 @ 12pm! Start your Wednesday at the iconic Idaho State Museum by listening to nine of Idaho’s premier non-profit orgs as they share their mission and have some laughs. 

🍴Chefs. Timers. A mystery ingredient. Head to KIN @ 4pm for Yes Chef! A Foodfort Showdown. Ever wanted to see a Chopped competition in real life? We gotchu. Plus yummy snacks from KIN, and some of the tastiest cocktails you can find in Boise!

💋 Calling all girls, gays, theys, and anyone in between: swing by Hap Hap for Dragfort’s Hella Queer, Hella Here Meetup at 5pm! Plus, stick around for some steamy local erotica with Death Rattle Literary’s Erotica: Werking Nine to Thrive starting @ 6:30pm. Ooooh, spicy!

🎞️Snag your Filmfort Badge at the official Filmfort Badge Pick Up Party, 6pm @ Idaho Film Society. Give the team a high five, hear some (solicited!) advice to make the most of your film viewing, and hang with your fellow cinephiles!
