Bonfire Music & Arts Festival returns to the scenic Driftless Music Gardens in Yuba, Wisconsin, for its ninth year of live music, art, and community gatherings. From Thursday, June 12 through Saturday, June 14, attendees are invited to camp beneath star-filled skies, enjoy a lineup of national and regional acts, and participate in an array of workshops and family-friendly activities. Headlining this year’s festival are beloved jamgrass stalwarts Railroad Earth alongside Americana-folk favorites Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. Additional performers include People Brothers Band (performing twice), Heatbox, Feed the Dog, Joseph Huber, Mr. Blotto, and many more—promising a weekend full of musical diversity and discovery.
Bonfire Music & Arts Festival opens its gates on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. and invites festival-goers to immerse themselves in the breathtaking Driftless landscape. With primitive camping included in general admission, attendees can set up their tents near the vendor and stage areas for easy access to music, merchandise, and food. Those seeking upgraded conveniences can opt for the RV Parking Pass or Car Camping Pass, while anyone arriving on Wednesday afternoon can secure an Early Arrival Pass for an extra evening of onsite festivities. All children under the age of 10 enter free (with pre-registration), and new this year is an enforced 7:00 p.m. supervision policy requiring minors under 18 to remain with their legal guardian after dark.
Beyond the music, Bonfire offers hands-on workshops on Friday and Saturday mornings, covering sustainable living practices and personal wellness topics. The festival is also committed to nurturing a family-friendly environment through dedicated Kids Activities from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday—featuring crafts, sensory bins, bubbles, yard games, and more. In addition, festival-goers can explore various food and merchandise vendors, with onsite amenities including beer and hard seltzer sales, ice, firewood, ATM access, and limited ADA parking accommodations.
Tickets are available in several tiers: three-day passes, RV and Car Camping packages, and single-day admissions (to be released closer to the event). General Parking is included with all admissions, and ticket holders are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the “no-refund” and “no-dogs” policies. As a safety measure, Driftless Music Gardens reserves the right to conduct vehicle searches upon arrival, and prohibits firearms or weapons of any kind. While a smooth terrain ensures easy movement for wheelchairs or bikes, staff assistance is available for any inclines or descents throughout the grounds.
Come celebrate nine years of music, art, and community in a one-of-a-kind setting.
