The Fest

Founded in 2015 by a small but passionate team of organizers, “the Fest” has quickly become one of the top rock climbing events in America. From its inception, the goal of the Fest has been to foster connections between the growing numbers of visiting climbers and the residents of Emery County.

“It’s not just a bouldering festival, it’s a community celebration that brings the locals and folks from around the world together,” said Castle Dale Mayor Danny Van Wagoner. “No matter who you are or where you’re from, the Joe’s Valley Fest is an event you will feel welcome at and will absolutely love.”
​
As the popularity of climbing continues to grow, it is vital to craft a culture that focuses on positive relationships with the land we recreate on, the towns that host our visits, and the people that welcome us.
​
Join us in Emery County September 26-29, 2019, where we will once again bring climbers from around the world together to share our passion for the incredible climbing in Joe’s Valley, learn about the history of Castle Country, and engage in a meaningful way with the community that supports bouldering. 
 
Flash Sale Tickets will be available August 1st, 2019, and you won't want to wait to purchase yours as space is limited! Check out photos from past festivals, and make sure to follow along on Instagram and Facebook to be the first to get the beta on what's happening in Joe's!
