Treefort Music Fest returns to downtown Boise March 31 to April 4, 2027 for its 15th year, with hundreds of bands across venues all over downtown plus comedy, film, food and more. The first lineup wave includes Modest Mouse, Orville Peck and Courtney Barnett. If you are coming with friends, here is how to plan the weekend and where to stay together.
Treefort tips
- Book lodging early. Downtown hotels fill up fast for Treefort week, and prices climb as the fest gets closer.
- Plan your must-see sets once the full schedule drops, but leave room to wander. Discovering a new band in a small venue is half the fun.
- Dress in layers. Late March and early April in Boise can swing from sunny afternoons to chilly nights.
- Use rideshare or a designated driver to get downtown and back. Parking near the venues is limited during the fest.
- Fuel up. Treefort’s food and drink scene is part of the experience, and downtown’s restaurants are all within walking distance of the venues.
Where to stay: one house for the whole group
Malibu Manor is a 5-bedroom home in Boise’s Warm Springs foothills that sleeps up to 16, about 10 minutes from downtown. It is an easy rideshare to the venues, and a quiet place to come back to between shows.
- Big entertainment deck with city and Table Rock views and a fire pit
- Game room with a retro arcade, foosball and a PS5 for the downtime between sets
- Full kitchen and a dining table for 16 for group breakfasts before a long day of music
- Booking direct saves about 10% compared to Airbnb, with no guest service fee
