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, Fire In The Mountains is dedicated to confronting a critical and urgent issue that significantly impacts the Blackfeet Nation, and all of Indian Country: suicide.
Fire In The Mountains is committed not only to raising awareness of the prevalence of suicide in Indian Country but also to actively participating in the solution by providing support for suicide prevention initiatives. Fire In The Mountains 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, and education — all set within the remote wilderness that borders Glacier National Park — in an area the Blackfeet call “The Backbone of the World,” Fire In The Mountains 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 Fire In The Mountains international recognition as the most original, talked-about, and meaningful heavy music festival in North America. More news from Fire in the Mountains coming soon.
