Thank you for another AMAZING Mountainfest weekend! We can’t wait to see ya on the snow at Mountainfest 2025!

Friday and Saturday March 1st & 2nd, 2024
2 Days Of Snowy Fun

Mountainfest 2024 is just days away and we can’t be more excited! Welcoming back Preston & Steve and the Cardboard Classic to Montage Mountain, the sledding excitement returns for Day 1 of Mountainfest on Friday, March 1st! Following the cardboard chaos, we’ll kick off our live music lineup with the amazing Collective Soul performing songs from an award winning catalog of new and favorite hits! Saturday, get ready…making their way to the Mountainfest stage and headliners at this year’s fest…multi-platinum superstars, O.A.R. with special guests opening the show, The 502s! We’re ready for the biggest and best Mountainfest yet and can’t wait to see you all there!

For over 25 years, O.A.R. have embodied the kind of joyfully communal spirit that’s transcendent for both artist and audience alike. Since forming in Maryland in 1996, the multi-platinum-selling band have merged their musical DNA into a free-flowing sound and exhilarating live show, repeatedly selling out legendary venues like Madison Square Garden thanks to their massively devoted community of fans. You can catch them right here at Montage Mountain headlining Mountainfest 2024 for a truly unforgettable performance that you don’t want to miss!  For all thing O.A.R., hit the link!

Hailing from Atlanta Georgia, Collective Soul is Celebrating their 30th Anniversary! With 11 studio albums and 8 #1 Hits under their belt, frontman and chief songwriter Ed Roland is unwaveringly driven in his desire to double down on doing more of what he does best – making music, sweet music, both in the studio and onstage.  Enjoy Collective Soul performing hits like “Shine” and “December” following Preston & Steve’s Cardboard Classic on Day 1 of Mountainfest!  Catch more about Collective Soul here!

Led by earnest banjo-strumming songwriter Ed Isola, The 502s are a band of brothers whose sound has received critical acclaim as celebratory, wholesome, and utterly life affirming. For their sophomore full length they’ve expanded their sonic range with a veritable Folk orchestra, comprising a colorful menagerie of instruments from strings and xylophones to brass, melodicas, whistles and bells, all wrapped in neighborhood-block-party-sized singalongs with vaulted vocal harmonies worthy of any great concert hall.  Come sing along with The 502s opening up for O.A.R. on Day 2 of Mountainfest!  Learn more about The 502s here!
