When one thinks of locations for world class multi-disciplinary arts festivals, Idaho may not immediately come to mind. But with more than 420 bands, artists, storytellers, comedians, workshops, film presentations and other activities, the Treefort Music Fest in Boise has become just that. With 13 “forts” spread across 46 venues (more descriptions here), the festival celebrated its 13th incarnation when it took over the downtown area of its state capitol for five days in March 2025.
Peter Dervin has reported on Treefort every year since 2019, and this year is no exception. As many of the artists he caught are new to No Depression, I suggest you pay particular attention to his report and photos. The festival is truly one of discovery.
