1. Ogden Music Festival
Fort Buenaventura, Ogden, May 30-31, all day
From the event website: “The Ogden Music Festival is our signature event that brings together friends and fans of acoustic music from Ogden and beyond, and is the perfect way to start your summer on a high note, whether it’s high, lonesome bluegrass or some hot licks on the fiddle. We couldn’t be more excited for 2026! Working together with the hundreds of artists, vendors, volunteers, sponsors, and logistical teams, it’s our collective dream to promote and celebrate Ogden’s arts, culture, and natural beauty with residents and visitors, alike.”

Come cheer on and watch the drivers contend for $20,000+ in prize money and “MADDOG” bragging rights for being the hardest hitting driver in Box Elder County.”
