A New Quest, A New Experience

Past attendees might think they know what DirtFest holds, but this year we’re setting a completely different stage. Forget all you know about the previous events because 2024's DirtFest is reimagined, revitalized, and unlike anything you've ever seen or participated in!

Open for All

Have a heart brimming with adventure but feel like you might not fit the bill? Push those worries aside! We have thrown open our gates wide. Whether you're a seasoned prospector or a newbie eager to sift their first pan, there's something for everyone. All ages, all experiences, everyone is welcome to dive into the excitement.

More Than Just Gold

While the allure of gold has always been our main attraction, this year, the true treasure lies in the experiences you'll gather. From slinging dirt, feeding dirt, processing dirt, swinging over dirt, and riding on dirt, to all kinds of activities, games, building, and even storytelling sessions around campfires, our variety of events promises thrills for everyone. You might come for the gold, but you'll leave with bags full of joy, laughter, stories, and maybe some new friends.

Go Out and Play in the Dirt!

Missed those childhood days when playing in the dirt was the highlight of your day? Relive those golden moments! Jealous that your kids or grandkids get to play in the dirt? Our theme for the year emphasizes the simple joys of life. So, roll up your sleeves, let the inner child out, and get ready to play, enjoy, and find treasures in the experiences both in the dirt and in the moments.

Gold Recovery Like Never Before

With advancements in recovery techniques and a renewed focus on making the gold-hunting experience even more rewarding, we're ensuring that you stand a better chance at striking gold. Attend our playground of events/experiences, get hands-on involvement with the latest equipment, and learn from the best in the field. At DirtFest 2024, we're not just about finding gold, we're about mastering the art and having a blast while doing it!

Revamped Vibe

As the sun sets and stars take over the vast outdoor skies, we're introducing nighttime events that'll uplift the spirits and light up the night. Live music, dancing if you want to strut your stuff, games, and probably a movie night or two will create an atmosphere you won’t want to leave. This year's DirtFest vibe is all about celebration, camaraderie, and cherishing the now.

Greetings to all adventure seekers, gold hunters, and fun lovers!
