Vertex is born as an intersection of inspiration, and as a celebration - of live music, of festival culture, of Colorado’s breathtaking natural beauty, and of the self-expression and pioneering spirit that each of these awaken. Vertex is an OUTDOOR EVENT – this means you will be camping, dancing, eating, and adventuring outside and at high elevation – please be prepared!

At its core, Vertex merges the best of worlds to create a present-day frontier where anything is possible. Diverse music, exhilarating outdoor adventures and artful fun and games bring people together for an enduring shared experience.

Vertex’s vision is inspired by its majestic high elevation home where sky meets peaks, peaks meet valleys, and valleys meet rivers. The venue is nestled in sprawling rangeland at the foot of the Continental Divide and surrounded by the year-round snowcapped 14,000-foot peaks of the Collegiate Mountain Range. The festival site is known as Cottonwood Meadows, a recently revitalized working ranch located a mile from downtown Buena Vista, Colorado in Chaffee County. Cottonwood Creek runs through the campgrounds and the festival site itself.

Vertex community members are invited to join the adventure not just as observers, but as participants in shaping the Vertex experience.

Doors will open at 12 pm on Thursday August 4 for those who have an Early Arrival Parking Pass and stay open 24 hours per day until the festival concludes. If you do not wish to purchase an Early Arrival Parking Pass, you may arrive as early as Friday August 5 at 10 am. Vertex is an all ages show. Children ages 6 and up must have their very own ticket. Children age 5 and under are admitted free of charge. Dogs and other pets are not allowed anywhere on the festival site, including the campgrounds. If you have a dog or other pet with you, you will be turned away at the gate. For all correct and up-to-date event information, please visit www.vertexfestival.com.
