Ghost Canyon Fest is an independently-run DIY music festival based in denver, co. Operating since 2022, we work in collaboration with venues in the South Broadway area and specialize in the heavy and weird. More specifically, we’re a small group of music nerds who saw a chance to put on the kind of fest we wanted to see.
