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.
