One of Jackson Hole’s most beloved summer traditions is back — and this year it comes with an extra reason to celebrate. The Grand Teton Music Festival has officially opened its 65th season, welcoming music lovers of all ages to the valley with a lineup that includes a slate of free events.

The festival, long regarded as a cultural cornerstone of the Jackson Hole community, marks six and a half decades of bringing world-class orchestral and chamber music to the shadow of the Tetons. The 65th season milestone is a testament to the enduring support of local residents, visitors, and the dedicated musicians who return year after year to perform in one of the most spectacular natural settings in the country.

The inclusion of free events this season ensures that the festival remains accessible to the broader community — not just ticketed concertgoers — reflecting the organization’s commitment to sharing the joy of live music with everyone in the valley. Whether you’re a longtime festival devotee or a first-time attendee, the free programming offers a welcoming entry point into what promises to be a memorable summer of music.

Keep an eye on local listings for specific dates, times, and venues for the free events as the season unfolds. For Jackson Hole, the Grand Teton Music Festival’s 65th season is a wonderful reminder of the rich cultural life that thrives here alongside the wilderness.
