Event Details:

Each year over Memorial Day weekend, the Desert Rocks Music Festival takes 
place at the majestic Area BFE, located 10 miles south of Moab. This stellar 
location for music and camping showcases the breathtaking natural beauty of 
Utah. The land backs up to the La Sal Mountains and boasts its own slot 
canyon.

This year, Desert Rocks will again feature three stages of world-class 
bluegrass, rock, reggae, hip-hop, funk, and folk music. The music is 
complemented by engaging local entertainment ranging from fire dancing to 
aerial trapeze ballet. Performances and events begin early each afternoon 
and continue until sunrise. Desert Rocks is a family-friendly festival and 
children under 12 are free. Festival tickets, parking passes, and VIP passes 
are available for purchase at www.desertrocks.org

Beyond providing a vibrant lineup of performers, the Desert Rocks Music 
Festival offers a healthy dose of adventurous activities. The surrounding 
landscape affords an abundance of outdoor beauty, attracting travelers from 
across the globe. So be sure and pack your bikes, boots, and bathing suits!

Back again this year are the lovely Sol Weavers--fire dancers and aerial 
ballerinas. We are thrilled to have The SoLLun (pronounced soul*loon) back 
on site too. *The SoLLun* is a portable interactive art, music, and 
performance exhibit in the guise of an old-fashioned Wild West saloon, 
playfully blended with elements from Mad Max, Willy Wonka, and our very own 
Solar Cosmonauts. The SoLLun embodies and manifests the current green trend 
by being entirely solar and wind powered and mostly made of reclaimed 
materials. It is the only such exhibit that also travels via 100% green 
technologies--currently a full veggie conversion, with a bio-diesel backup.
