The story

Beartrap Summer Festival in Casper

The Beartrap Summer Festival is an outdoor bluegrass and folk music festival held on Casper Mountain above Casper, Wyoming, drawing musicians and campers to Bear Trap Meadow for a summer weekend of live performances. It has run for decades as a community-organized celebration of acoustic music set against the mountain's forested backdrop.

The Beartrap Summer Festival takes its name from Bear Trap Meadow, a forested clearing on Casper Mountain above Casper, Wyoming, that has served as the festival's home for decades of summer bluegrass and folk music gatherings.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's setting at Bear Trap Meadow on Casper Mountain gives it a genuinely rustic, high-elevation character distinct from a downtown or fairground festival, with camping and outdoor performance space built directly into a forested mountain meadow rather than a paved venue

02

The mystery stays covered

Its focus on bluegrass and acoustic folk music has made it a magnet for regional pickers and touring acoustic acts, including performers with deep ties to Wyoming's own folk music scene

03

The city starts moving

Because it has run for decades as a community-driven event, the festival carries a grassroots, volunteer character that has kept it distinct from larger commercial music festivals even as it has remained a fixture of Casper's summer calendar
