What is Rock the Mountain?
Rock the Mountain is a gathering of music lovers who come together to celebrate great music, good vibes, and unforgettable experiences at the foot of beautiful Whitehorse Mountain. Inspired by the legendary shows that came before it, our festival takes place at Darrington Music Park, a breathtaking amphitheater at the gateway to the Cascade Range. Surrounded by 35 acres of lush evergreen forest and within walking distance of the Stillaguamish River, the camping alone makes the trip worthwhile.
But Rock the Mountain is more than just a music festival, it’s a community. It’s a place where new and old friends unite over their shared passion for music, art, and the great outdoors. The festival showcases creativity in all forms, featuring live performances, dance, games, prizes, raffles, crafts, mesmerizing light shows, stunning videography, and, of course, some of the best musicians from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There’s truly something for everyone.
Most importantly, this festival is for the rockers, by the rockers. It’s powered by a passionate team of dedicated fans and musicians who bring their skills and talents together to create something truly special and supported by the generous sponsorship of many local businesses.
We are excited to offer a few new attractions to this year’s festival including early admission for VIPs, a Rockin’ Wheels Contest open to anything with wheels! Also, we will be offering awards for Coolest Compounds and Kick Ass Campsites so bring your A-Game this year we’re handing out awards!
Finally, we at the Whitehorse Musicians Guild want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who makes this festival possible. It’s all of you, at every level, who bring Rock the Mountain to life.
Thank you,
…and Rock on!
