We strive to make Treefort Music Fest a welcoming place for everyone. For all races, genders, abilities, ages, etc.
We strive to create spaces for all kinds of art, and those who want to experience it. We develop plans as best we can to suit fans and performers of all kinds and have a robust security plan to ensure it is implemented safely.
Treefort is not a place for inappropriate, disruptive, or abusive behavior, either in person or online. If you’ve had any experience at Treefort that doesn’t uphold our Code of Conduct and our values of kindness, inclusivity and safety, we encourage you to contact us (in person or via email) in order for us to address the issue and ultimately improve.
Please be safe as you dance and mosh at the fest, and please know you are doing so at your own risk. To view our full Code of Conduct, click here.
Attend at Your Own Risk
Treefort Music Fest is a multi-day, multi-venue festival experience filled with live music, art, food, movement, and thousands of fellow fort-goers. With that magic comes shared responsibility.
By choosing to attend Treefort, you acknowledge that participation in a large-scale, live event taking place across a city involves inherent risks — and you assume those risks voluntarily.
We’re committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment. We also ask you to show up informed, prepared, and accountable.
Inherent Risks of Attending
Treefort takes place across indoor and outdoor venues throughout downtown Boise. Attending may include exposure to:
- Large crowds and close physical proximity to others
- Elevated sound levels
- Strobe lights, haze, and other production effects
- Uneven pavement, off-season park and urban terrain
- Weather conditions including rain, snow, sleet, heat, wind, or cold
- Alcohol consumption by other attendees
- Physical activity including standing, dancing, biking, or walking between venues
By entering festival venues or participating in any Treefort event, you acknowledge and accept these inherent risks.
Health Considerations
If you are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms of illness, we ask that you stay home. Protect your fellow fest-goers and our community.
Attendees are responsible for managing their own personal health needs, including:
- Staying hydrated and nourished
- Taking necessary medications
- Wearing ear protection when needed
- Monitoring personal physical limits
- Practicing personal hygiene
If you have specific medical concerns or conditions that may be impacted by crowds, sound, lighting effects, or extended physical activity, please consult a medical professional before attending.
Alcohol Responsibility
There are many bars for patrons who are 21+ throughout the festival grounds and participating venues. Please consume responsibly, don’t drink & drive and respect venue staff and security at all times. Attendees are solely responsible for their own decisions and actions.
Safety & Security
Our team works year-round with venues, city partners, medical staff, and security personnel to implement safety protocols across the festival footprint. That said:
- Follow all posted signage (including Prohibited Items, see FAQs) and all staff/volunteer instructions
- Report unsafe behavior to staff/volunteer/security member immediately
- Respect venue capacity limits (lines do happen)
- In an emergency, notify security or call 911
Treefort and our participating vendors and venues reserve the right to refuse entry or remove any individual whose behavior compromises the safety or experience of others.
Assumption of Risk & Release
By attending Treefort Music Fest, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation, including but not limited to personal injury, illness, property damage, or loss.
Attendance constitutes agreement that Treefort Music Fest, its organizers, venues, partners, staff, volunteers, and affiliates are not liable for any injury, loss, or damages arising from participation, except as prohibited by law.
Community Care
Treefort works because of our community. Look out for yourself and each other.
If something feels off, speak up.
If someone needs help, get help.
If you need a break, take one.
We’re here to build something joyful together — safely ♡
