Event: Moab Music Festival
Moab Music Festival, which takes place in the town of Moab, Utah, wins the title for coolest outdoor fest around. Performances happen in red-rock grottos only reachable by boat, ranches, and canyons. The fest also offers musical hikes, in which attendees are shuttled to a secret location for a moderate hike ending with a performance in the middle of nature. Moab—home to both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks—is known for its beautiful views, sitting just south of the Colorado River. Catch this year’s acts from September 1 through September 15.
