Deep in the Purgatoire River Valley in the southern Colorado mountains sits the bucolic village of Weston, home to the Monument Lake Resort and the one-of-a-kind Caveman Music Festival. A pristine landscape undiscovered but by the adventurous few, there is no place in the whole of the United States better fitted for an event as equally unique. The Caveman Music Festival features three days of eclectic music with tastes that range from Americana to country to psychedelic to rock ‘n’ roll, and unlimited natural resources for the true “pathfinder.” Take the ultimate road trip away from the sweltering summer heat and up into the cooler climes to enjoy camping, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and the best live music on the mountain top. The 3rd Annual Caveman Music Festival happens Labor Day weekend at the Monument Lake Resort, August 30th through September 1st.

Whether it’s hiking along mountain vistas, fishing at the mile-long private lake, boating on cool clear waters, or just basking in the tranquility of nature, Caveman Music Festival offers it all along with the perfect soundtrack at this secluded little piece of heaven. “Great bands, iconic setting. It’s definitely one of the coolest festivals we’ve been a part of.” -Uncle Lucius “When you go to the Caveman Music Festival, not only are you surrounded by the beauty of the great outdoors, but also the hospitality and good will of the fine folks who put it on. That welcoming vibe is something that reverberates through the festival grounds and makes it something we always look forward to!” -Jamestown Revival “Caveman Music Festival is a place for dreamers, fun havers, campers, fishermen, musicians, squatch lovers, alien abductees, and music fans from all walks of life. It’s a festival that you can recommend to the entire family reunion.” –Red Shahan
