Taking place at Camp Lucy Resort in Dripping Springs, in the Texas Hill Country, this exclusive festival experience is an adults-only (21+) boutique music and luxury camping event designed for those who want to enjoy something one-of-a-kind. It’s happening March 16 and 17, 2020, and tickets are going fast! Campfire Gathering stands high above other Texas music festivals by offering attendees an all-inclusive experience, from great drinks and food to magical camping/glamping, all while enjoying astounding live music.

In its inaugural year, this unique event has just released an amazing, thoughtfully-curated performance lineup, including critically-acclaimed artists alongside exciting up-and-comers from today’s top country, Americana, folk, and rock musicians. Campfire Gathering will kick-off its first year with a performance on Monday, March 16, 2020, from Nashville-based singer/songwriter Margo Price, indie rock band Delta Spirit, and a performance from Austin’s White Denim.
