Fire in the Mountains will take place at Red Eagle Campground in East Glacier, Montana from July 23-26, 2026. All first wave ticket types are on sale now, including festival tickets, VIP, all camping types, BBQ, and parking [available here].
Festival tickets include all music experiences, workshops and panels presented by Firekeeper Alliance, access to the Fire in the Mountains Marketplace, lake access for swimming/kayaking, etc, and so much more. Additionally, all ticket holders are invited to participate in the Grand Entry hosted by the Blackfeet Nation on Thursday, July 23.
Fire in the Mountains is an immersive, open-air music and cultural event that merges heavy music with natural landscapes and Indigenous cultural experiences. As the only alcohol-free heavy music festival in North America, FITM is dedicated to confronting a critical and urgent issue that significantly impacts the Blackfeet Nation, and all of Indian Country: suicide. FITM is committed not only to raising awareness of the prevalence of suicide in Indian Country but also to actively participate in the solution by providing support for suicide prevention initiatives. FITM aims to create a platform that brings this issue to the forefront of our public consciousness and fosters a supportive community dedicated to change.
Through music, art, education— all set within the remote wilderness that borders Glacier National Park— in an area the Blackfeet call “The Backbone of the World,” FITM offers a one-of-a-kind, immersion-based experience designed to rekindle the inner fire and deepen each participant’s connection to the natural world, and to one’s self. This distinctive approach has quickly earned FITM international recognition as the most original, talked-about, and meaningful heavy music festival in North America.
