RHYTHMS ON THE RIO is an attendance-capped 3-day festival on the banks of the Rio Grande River. You will instantly feel the community-first mentality that has developed over 15 events to make ROTR what it is today; a value-driven, laid-back experience with GREAT music for all ages to enjoy TOGETHER!!!!   

KIDS 15 AND UNDER ARE FREE!

Produced by the South Fork Music Association, proceeds are used for children's music programs with funding having been provided to 11 School Districts & music programs in the San Luis Valley. We were especially proud to help in funding the renewed Sangre De Cristo School District music program and the Alamosa Live Music Associations school program. Combining Music, Yoga, family fun & camping on site with affordable pricing make this a true Colorado festival. 

PLEASE BE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING YOU ARE VOLUNTEERS AND ARE HELPING TO KEEP THE COSTS DOWN FOR THIS WONDERFUL FESTIVAL.  THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES SET BY SOUTH FORK MUSIC ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WANT TO HELP START YOU OFF ON YOUR BEST FEST EXPERIENCE.

Camping at Rhythms on the Rio

We’re sure you will love the improvements made to our location in Del Norte, CO as much as we do.

The Del Norte site offers plenty of beautiful shade trees throughout the grounds!

👉  In our second year at our new location in Del Norte, we are working with the property owners to adapt to changing needs and regulations.  As with any change, we will all have to follow a few new guidelines related to camping and parking that will be new to ROTR veterans.

We appreciate your understanding and patience while we all adjust to these changes together!

🏕 CAMPING is, as always, included with your 3-day festival pass!

20X20 SPACE IS INCLUDED FOR CAR & TENT CAMPING.

RV CAMPERS & TRAILERS

An RV Camper Ticket ($50) will be required in addition to your festival pass (one per vehicle).  ALL BUMPER PULL (Trailer) CAMPERS and VEHICLES OVER 20'ARE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE THIS TICKET.

You can still sleep any number you want in the camper, but the RV camper ticket is required.

Note: Bumper-pull trailers under 20' will be allowed into the general camping area.  Any car pulling a trailer over 20' will be required to camp in a designated area (but a terrific location) on the festival grounds.

CAR CAMPING

You will be able to camp with your car.

There will be designated car camping areas for vehicles under 20’ and tents. Because of the limitations of the terrain, we will need camping sites to be contained within a 20x20 space. WE CANNOT SAVE SPACES FOR YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE SHOWING UP AT A LATER TIME.  Sorry, but we will be filling spaces based on the time of arrival.

WALK-IN CAMPING

There will be camping available in the wooded areas on the festival grounds. You will be able to unload close to the walk-in area, and then park your car nearby where you will have access to it all weekend.

(Camping in the trees is a risk and that risk is accepted by the attendee. South Fork Music Association or the property owner will not be held responsible for damages while camping in the trees.)

🚗 PARKING

Parking for vehicles not wanting to camp is included in the festival pass in a designated area.
