On behalf of local music nonprofit Klamath Music, join us Saturday, August 23, 2025 at the Ross Ragland Theater complex for the return of the Klamath Music Festival from 1–9 PM. A benefit event directly supporting music efforts year-round in the Basin, the event features an evening indoor stage, daytime street stage, family activities, and food and beverage vendors.

Why We Do This

"We firmly believe that music has the ability to heal divides and create positive, life-long connections that foster health, wellness, and improve both one's personal and communal quality of life. Helping people uncover their talent, finding their people, and living a life with meaning is the WHY behind why we do what we do.
Klamath Falls is quickly becoming a smaller yet increasingly popular music hub on the West Coast with both traveling artists and tourists alike for these reasons and more. We're not the hyper-competitive, dog-eat-dog music worlds of Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, or many larger cities. Rather, we're musicians just being ourselves and doing what we do simply for the joy of it.
It's our people, and the welcoming nature within the local music community across skill levels, that give things heart — leaving visitors with a special experience."
— Nick Depew, Executive Director
