Back Forty Fest
Saturday, July 18, 2026 (2:00 PM - 9:00 PM) (CDT)
Description
Back Forty Fest is back—and it didn’t come back quietly.
Tucked deep in the pines and a little off the radar, this is where the Northwoods turns the volume up for a day.
We’re stacking the stage from afternoon to night with a mix of local talent and full-throttle tribute acts
Starting with Brainerd’s own Third Wheel, rolling into a Cake tribute that hits all the right notes, and closing it out with a Red Hot Chili Peppers set that doesn’t hold anything back.
In between, expect a steady pulse of live music to keep things moving.
- Third Wheel: 2pm - 4pm
- Andy D: 4pm - 5pm (patio stage)
- Cake Walk: 5pm - 6:30pm
- Andy D: 6:30pm - 7:30pm (patio stage)
- SirPsycho: 7:30pm - 9pm
Cold beer, loud guitars, and a crowd that knows exactly why they showed up. It’s a little bigger this year, a little tighter, and still just rough enough around the edges to feel like it’s ours.
