Join Eric Gilbert and Lori Shandro, co-founders of the Treefort Music Fest, for the inside scoop on how the seed of a bold and risky idea grew to become a creative, cultural canopy that covers the entire city.

From its humble beginnings in downtown Boise to becoming a multi-day, multi-venue celebration of music, art, community, and discovery, Eric and Lori will peel back the myths, share the obstacles, and tell the real, messy, joy-filled story behind Treefort’s growth.
