Fall Joshua Tree Music Festival Continues Friday
JOSHUA TREE (CNS) – The 21st annual fall Joshua Tree Music Festival continued Friday at the Joshua Tree Lake Campground featuring workshops, mindfulness activities and over 30 artists.
The festival got underway Thursday night, picked back up at 10:30 a.m. Friday, and will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Beats will continue through the night until past midnight each day except for Sunday, when the festival is set to close out with a performance at 7:30 p.m. by Father Taj.
“Music acts alternate between two stages throughout the weekend so music is continuous and you don’t miss any bands,” organizers wrote. “No running around trying to figure out who to see when.”
Thursday’s performances got underway with Novalima, who was followed by DJ Dragonfly and Wrecka continued the party at 1:30 a.m. before Ian Winters took the stage at 3:15 a.m.
Wildlife Freeway picked up performances again on Friday and set to follow him were Dom Jones, Trishes, Davis, Rosa Pullman, Rags Rosenberg, Groove with Alyssa Decaro, Lisa Pimienta, High Step Society, and Q. Varo. The GetDown and Alcazar will continue the night at 1:30 a.m.
Saturday’s performances include NYChillharmonic, Lisa Sanders and Brown Sugar, Diggin Dirt, Madalitso, Nicky Genesis, Lettuce, Baila Nova, Apollo Bebop and Adam Deitch.
Before Father Taj closes out the festival, attendees can also expect to see Las Tias, Ryan Heffington, Kerala Dust, Ron Artis II, Ladama, Shabaz, and TV Broken 3rd Eye Open featuring Katie Skene.
In addition to music, the festival will feature The Positive Vibration Station for attendees to practice breathing, yoga and movement; a “Sanctuary” to have mindfulness discussions, tell stories and attend daily AA meetings; a queer salon with art, performances, a skills-share, racial justice talk and resources; and an “Astro Mojo Dojo,” which is a sober space for reflection, connection and tea ceremonies.
In an effort to encourage families to attend the festival with their kids, the venue also offers a Kidsville, which has rotating interactive activities, special pop-up performances and playshops, festival officials said.

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
