Every September, the award-winning Moab Music Festival brings world-class musicians to stunning red rock venues around Moab, Utah for a feast of chamber music, jazz, and traditional music concerts.

For the Festival’s unique grotto concerts, audience members travel down the Colorado River in jet boats to an acoustically perfect red rock concert site. After the performance, the audience has a chance to share food and drink with the musicians before boating back to Moab. 

Other Festival concerts take place along the Colorado River where concertgoers hear outstanding artists perform innovative music programs while enjoying southeast Utah’s world-renowned red rock landscape.  We call it “music in concert with the landscape,” celebrating old and new chamber music, jazz with a Latin flavor, and traditional music from around the globe. Often, the Festival invites a composer-in-residence to share newer chamber works.

You'll find plenty of comfortable lodging, fine dining, wineries and breweries and diverse shopping in and around Moab. Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park are minutes away by car. You can hike through wilderness areas or explore the stunning landscape on mountain bikes, in cars or jeeps, floating on a Colorado River raft, or on horseback.  Or just sitting.
