The experience
What's special
Red Lodge Songwriter Festival fills the streets, bars, cafes and theaters of Red Lodge, Montana for three days in June, gathering songwriters from Nashville, Montana and around the country. The 2027 edition runs from 17 to 19 June 2027, with songwriters playing downtown venues. The festival is run by Rocky Mountain Songwriter Festivals, Inc., which has donated more than $190,000 to music education since 2016. The same organisation also hosts the Livingston Songwriter Festival in Livingston, Montana, from 30 September to 2 October 2027 (www.livingstonsongwriterfestival.org).
How it works
The 2027 festival runs from Thursday to Saturday, and every show is ticketed, with passes or wristbands needed to enter. In 2026 the box office was open from 12pm to 6pm on each of the three days, and wristbands were also sold at the venues. In 2027 tickets range from $50 to $205, and VIP packages from $2,250 to $4,850 include lodging and passes. Early bird passes go on sale on 1 December 2026, and the festival set 1 November 2026 for announcing the 2027 songwriters.
