Beartrap Summer Festival | Casper, Wyoming

The nocturnal bird whip-poor-will sings their songs into the summer nights. The band Whippoorwill filled the Beartrap Meadow with their songs

It was a first for the meadow. Headbanging. Moshing. Metal in the Meadow. We love it, and by the looks in your faces, you loved it too.

Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband put on a high energy show which got the crowd dancing within a few beats. Their stage presence is nothing short of infectious.

Listening to The Riverside feels like lounging outside in the sun on a perfect summer day.

The crowd at Beartrap had a warm welcome to Jalan Crossland as he joined the stage. Jalan brought his usual swagger for all to enjoy.

Schooled in the precision of classical music and steeped in homegrown tradition, The Ransom Notes epitomize the phrase “best of both worlds”.

Just a little afternoon on the meadow, the temperature starts to rise and The Woodpile hits the stage. Their mellow indy sounds refresh the audience.

Due to a last minute illness of a member of Survivor, Skid Row will be stepping in as the replacement headliner at the Beartrap Summer Festival on Saturday, Aug. 3rd.

If you’re heading to the Beartrap Summer Festival hoping to hear some classic country music, you’ll be happy to know that Mark Chesnutt has been delivering exactly that for nearly 30 years.

It is typically pretty warm in meadow during the Beartrap Summer Festival and one of the best ways to cool off is with an ice cold brew. This year, we are fortunate enough to have brand new local beers to wet your whistle!
