Betsiefest is a grassroots, donation-based, family-friendly music festival held annually in honor of Betsie Och, a beloved community member who passed away from cancer in 2010. The event celebrates life, music, and community, featuring local bands, food, and camping, all while supporting a charitable cause.
Some cool bands! For more details, visit the lineup page.
Yes, overnight car camping is available with a $20 suggested donation. Camping is located in the "back 40" area of the pasture. You are responsible for your camping supplies and leave no trace. Please bring headlamps and LED lanterns for lighting. The event encourages a vibrant camping community.
Attendees are highly encouraged to bring all their own food and beverages and bring a picnic-style setup to share if you like! A food truck will be offering food for purchase only while supplies last! Make sure you have what you need since the food truck usually sells out early in the night. And remember to pack in and pack out all containers and waste.
While there is a suggested donation of $40 per person to attend the event, donations are not required for entry. All funds raised go toward keeping Betsiefest running, with any surplus donated to Growing Gardens charity.
Yes, dogs are allowed but must be fully leashed at all times. Please ensure your pet is well-behaved and clean up after them.
Betsiefest is a rain-or-shine event. Please come prepared for the weather conditions. Of course, you should always shine!
Leave No Trace! The event follows a pack-in, pack-out policy. Attendees are asked to bring their own containers and ensure they carry out all trash and waste. This helps maintain the natural beauty of the venue.
