What is 4Peaks?

The 16th incarnation of the family-friendly 4 Peaks Music Festival returns to the picturesque Stevenson Ranch, framed by the scenic Cascade Mountains. The ranch offers wide open spaces and multiple stages, allowing for intimate camping with your friends & family while you discover your new favorite band.

Attendees can look forward to morning yoga with Nicole Baumann, world-class music throughout the day & night, and late-night Silent Disco and a silent band set by Call Down Thunder while enjoying local food, craft beverages, and artisan vendors.

Kids will never forget the newly-expanded Kidlandia. So, grab your family and meet your friends, old and new, at the Stevenson Ranch for the 2024 4 Peaks Music Festival!

Why the Summer Solstice?

We could say the Summer Solstice is when the sun travels the longest path through the sky and gives us in the Northern Hemisphere the longest day. Or, we could tell you that the North Pole is tilted about 23°27´ toward the Sun and the vertical noon rays are directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer 23°27´ N.

But really, the Summer Solstice is the start of summer! It’s a time to celebrate the sun with music, dancing, friends, and good eats and drinks. And where could be a better place to celebrate than at 4 Peaks in Bend, Oregon?

What is Route to 4Peaks?

At each of the Route to 4 Peaks shows, staff & volunteers will be hanging out, selling tickets, and answering any questions you may have about the upcoming Festival. Come party with us!

Service Animal Policy

The only animals allowed at the event are those that align with the ADA’s service animal classification for animals specifically trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and are therefore not allowed on the grounds.

What Is The Drone Policy?

Absolutely no drones.

You wouldn’t know it, but Stevenson Ranch is an FAA-certified airfield.

ALL drones will be confiscated!

Is WiFi Available?

No, so sorry, but WIFI is not provided to the public.

There is great cell coverage at the Stevenson Ranch!

4 Peaks is committed to Zero Waste principals and sustainability efforts.

We recently received a grant from the Deschutes County Waste Department for our efforts and we work hard to return the ranch to its working form each year.

There will NOT be plastic in the venue or at the bar. Please feel free to come with a Silipint from previous 4 Peaks!

We are very proud of our EarthWell Branded 4 Peaks Cups this year, available at the bar and first drink is FREE with purchase (please purchase one as a souvenir, they are AWESOME and pretty!)
