Building upon the triumph of its debut edition in 2023, seasoned event organizers Gem & Jam and 4 Peaks Presents have just announced the eagerly anticipated lineup of Cascade Equinox’s 2024 edition. Set amidst the tranquil landscapes of the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, Oregon, the cross-genre festival will once again captivate attendees from Friday, September 20 – Sunday, September 22, 2024.

Cascade Equinox has revealed a remarkable initial lineup for its sophomore year, showcasing a diverse array of acts that mirror both the vibrant community and stunning surroundings of the festival’s Central Oregon location.

“We are thrilled to be welcomed back to the Deschutes County Fairgrounds for a bigger and better year two, with a focus on bringing in local elements from the music to performance art, live painters, art galleries, interactive installations, workshops, kids zone and just about every aspect of the event in between. Having this event in my backyard is a dream come true and I’m so excited to bring this event to the people of Central Oregon.” – Toby White (founder of Cascade Equinox Festival and Bend resident)
