The Moab Music Festival is one of those experiences shaped entirely by its surroundings. Set among red rock cliffs, quiet canyons, and wide desert landscapes, this September tradition brings world-class musicians into some of the most unexpected and unforgettable venues in Moab.

From intimate river floats with live music to concerts in natural amphitheaters and canyon spaces, every performance feels immersive. The setting is always part of the experience. The lineup spans classical, jazz, Latin, folk, and contemporary styles, each chosen to complement the landscape as much as the music.

This is not a typical concert experience. It’s music woven directly into the outdoors. Each venue offers something completely different.

If you’re visiting for the festival, take time to explore Moab beyond the music. Spend your days in Arches and Canyonlands, or rafting the Colorado River. You can also enjoy quiet moments taking in the desert before evening performances under open skies.
