Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Festival That Started It All

“Four Decades of What’s Next in Texas Music”

MusicFest, the original Texas music festival, has a longstanding history—with the celebratory milestone of the 40th Anniversary and delivering the highest quality in mountain, sporting, music, and adventurous experiences. Dickson Productions takes great pride in our knowledge, experience, and reputation for offering the best all-inclusive packages (all-in-one; mountain lodging, lifts, activities, and a marathon of top-notch music) at the most reasonable rates, all guaranteed to create memories that last a lifetime.

The MusicFest has sold out for 23 consecutive years—a track record that’s hard to come by but reflects not only the enduring support for this iconic event and all it is known for, but also the value recognized by seasoned sports and music enthusiasts. Our knowledge in event production, dedication to excellence, and keen attention to what attendees enjoy sets the bar high and results in such a loyal following.

Over the years, The MusicFest has become more than a festival. It’s a tradition. A family. A launchpad for artists who now fill the biggest stages. And at the heart of it all is the genuine connection between artist and a grounded community — real music, real stories, and real people. Our motto from several decades ago, “No Artificial Ingredients… or People,” still stands today. Add in a large variety of easily accessible venues to experience our authentic music, and you have another level of experience that only MusicFest delivers.

The MusicFest holds many traditions that make it such a unique gathering including the kick-off poker tourney for charity, Tribute to a Legend and the many specialty shows in the widest variety of venues with exceptional “character”(to name a few). Many of these shows are meticulously planned with the artists while some are impromptu and could only happen in the majestic mountains of MusicFest. It’s “special” in every sense of the word.

And there’s MORE. If you’ve never been to the beautiful western mountainous town of Steamboat Springs, you’ll be awestruck by the seemingly endless things to do “off the slopes.” There are amazing dining experiences, snowmobiling, natural hot springs, shopping, sleigh rides, horseback riding, fishing, soaking in a hot tub on your own porch…you get the idea, there’s something for everyone.

The MusicFest is an adventure of a lifetime where friends are made for life and memories are created amidst the best music and people gathering in the majestic Rocky Mountains.

Here’s to Good people, Great Music and memories of a lifetime.

Hope you join us Down Home, Up High!
