We did not find a published 2027 base price, so we are not listing one here. Ticket prices, tiers and entry rules have changed from year to year, so use the official ticket link for current pricing.

What to Expect

Coverage of the 2026 festival describes a two-day outdoor event with live bands, local food, craft beer, wine and cocktails, and local artisan booths. The setting is the draw: a small-town festival at the mouth of Zion Canyon, with red rock walls close by.

Where to Stay Near the Festival

Late September is one of the busiest stretches of the year in Zion Canyon, and Springdale rooms sell out early. If Springdale is full, Hurricane and St. George put you roughly 30 to 60 minutes away with more hotels, vacation rentals and restaurants. Browse the hotels and lodging directory to compare options, and see our Greater Zion guide for the wider region.

Parking and Getting Around

We could not find official parking or camping details for the festival, so check the festival website or Facebook page for current guidance. Springdale is a narrow canyon town with limited parking and a free town shuttle that serves the park, so plan to arrive early and allow extra time on SR-9 during fall weekends.
