Celebrate the outdoors at the Outside Festival, May 31–June 1, 2025. Now in its second year, the event will feature live music, adventure films, thought-provoking speakers, the latest outdoor gear and more.
The Outside Festival will take over Civic Center Park in downtown Denver and expand in 2025 to include Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park, as well as spaces inside Denver Art Museum and the newly renovated Denver Public Library.
Live music headliners Khruangbin, Lord Huron, Sylvan Esso, Trampled by Turtles, Neal Francis, Waxahatchee, Husbands and Hazlett will perform on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1. Other popular bands will take the stage throughout the weekend and concertgoers can expect a unique and immersive musical journey set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
In addition to live music, the Outside Festival will provide two full days of events with adventure film screenings, athlete panels and signings, climbing experiences, yoga classes, workshops, gear demos, a kids’ zone, exciting food options, and a variety of immersive brand engagements.
The Outside Summit, a precursor to the festival and the outdoor industry’s premier networking event attended by over 500 influential leaders, will return on Thursday, May 29, with a full day of programming on Friday, May 30, plus exclusive gatherings and festival access over the weekend.
"Outside’s mission has always been to encourage more people to get outdoors, discover, learn and engage fully with all that nature provides,” said Robin Thurston, CEO of Outside Interactive Inc. “The Outside Festival and Summit will continue to embody that same ethos, offering a space where people can engage and deepen their appreciation for the outdoors alongside others who share the same passion. We hope you’ll join us in 2025 for a weekend of adventure, growth and community."
