There’s no end to the possibilities and opportunities here at Treefort.
Not only are there a variety of forts from film to food, but also many additional activities! From special fort events and a basketball tourney on the back of a van, make sure to check these out:
Skatefort
Saturday, March 24th 12:00-5:00pm
Rhodes Skate Park
Skatefort is a celebration of skateboarding, music and community. Skateboarding and music have always gone hand in hand and our goal is to bring people together at a world class skatepark to celebrate our creativity. Everyone is invited to come skate the park together while listening to some amazing music. In addition to bands playing 1-5pm at Rhodes Skate Park, Boise Skateboard Association are bringing in some badass pro skate teams.
Skatefort is run by Boise Skateboard Association and Boise’s Parks & Recreation. Their goal is to improve the lives of Boiseans by advocating for youth and at-risk youth to enjoy the healthy activity of skateboarding in safe and accessible environments.

Band Dialogue VII
Saturday, March 24th 5:00-6:00pm
Celebration Circle at JUMP
Composed and conducted by Seth Olinsky (Cy Dune), Band Dialogue is a massive composition, experiment, and conversation that explores the sonics of many bands, stretched out across a space, playing simultaneously, part orchestra, part installation. Continuing in the lineage of large scale guitar and drum events by the likes of NYC composer Rhys Chatham and Osaka noise lords Boredoms, each version is adapted to the site and bands for something totally unique – bands radiate their individual glory while simultaneously expanding into one colossal sound.
Though the public has access to all of these rad activities and events, if you want to guarantee being a part of the festival, you should buy a 5-day Treefort pass. In some cases, Treefort passholders have priority entry into events before the public.
Get your Treefort pass now for $195 (plus fees) here or swing by the Record Exchange!
