Take a peek at what a few of our forts have in store for you. Keep those eyes peeled, because we have lots more fort programming coming soon!

Comedyfort is comin’ in hot—packed with giggles, belly laughs, and everything in between. With a mix of up-and-comers and comedy heavy hitters, Comedyfort keeps the good vibes rollin’ all festival long. We are beyond stoked to welcome our TWO Comedyfort Headliners this year, Hannibal Buress and Joe Pera. Catch them both at The Egyptian–make sure to get your tickets!

We have so many fun events planned for Dragfort this year! Unlock and embrace your femme power with Femme Forward a Dragfort × Yogafort collab featuring Corevette Collective. Indulge in a dangerous cocktail of glamour, comedy, and drag mayhem at the Big Gay Happy Hour Drag Show! And we will never stop brunching at the infamous It’s Brunch, B*tch, always kicking Sunday of the fest off right!

Hackfort during Treefort Music Fest is all about celebrating all things tech. This year, we’re thrilled to bring A. Micah Smith and his talk, Quality Control: A Methodology for Meaningful Work. Plus loads more speakers and panels to come, so stay tuned! Hackfort’s mission is to democratize technology and tech culture by offering opportunities to learn, connect, and engage with the fun side of tech while also pushing tech boundaries, all to make a positive difference within our community. Come get nerdy with us!

Calling all pod lovers. Finally catch that favorite podcast of yours live and in person! We’ve curated the best stories, sounds, and conversations to come alive during Treefort 2026.
