Summertime is the best time to be outside as much as possible. And what better way to spend that time than at a music festival? There are quite a few music festivals happening this summer in Wyoming, but lets talk about just a few of them (and one of my favorites!) I even mapped them out so they would be easy to find for you guys. You can go check that out at
The line up for the Bluegrass in Evanston that will be held this summer.
The Evanston Bluegrass Festival, which is a one day event that will be held on June 22, will have performances from regional and national musicians. The types of music that these artists will be performing include Bluegrass, Roots, Rockabilly and Folk. Here is the link to the Facebook Page- Evanston Bluegrass.
Cheyenne Frontier Days is one of the biggest rodeos and concert celebrations in Wyoming.
One of the events that Wyoming is known for is Cheyenne Frontier Days. This year, Cheyenne Frontier Days will take place from July 19 -28. Cheyenne Frontier Days is ultimately known for its rodeos, giving the event the nickname “Daddy of ’em All” . Marissa Palm, who lives here in Laramie, has gone to a few of the concerts at Cheyenne Frontier Days. “I love that there is such a huge and popular concert venue so close to home. There is always big names performing and it is always great to get out of town for a day and enjoy some good music. Another event that is held during Cheyenne Frontier Days is the concerts. People come from all over to enjoy the big names in the music industry. Go check out Cheyenne Frontier Days to learn more about the concert line up and all of the other events that will be going on.
Oyster Ridge Music Festival is one of the more well known blue grass festivals in the state.
Personally, my favorite music festival to go to is Oyster Ridge Music Festival in my hometown of Kemmerer. Oyster Ridge will take place on July 26-28. Some of the music that will be performed includes Americana, Cajun/Zydeco, Blues, Bluegrass, Roots, Reggae, Rock, Folk and Variety. Oyster Ridge Music Festival is a festival that is free to the public. My younger brother Konner explains that Oyster Ridge Music Festival is one of his favorite things to do over the summer. “I try my hardest to make sure there isn’t anything else going on that weekend. It is definitely on of the highlights of my summer. It is able to remain free because of fundraisers like the Commissioner’s License Raffle. You can check out Oyster Ridge Music to get more information. This year is also the 25th anniversary for Oyster Ridge Music Festival (ORMF 25th Anniversary).
