LEE CANYON (KTNV) — Organizers have announced the lineup for the annual free summer music and outdoor recreation festival at Lee Canyon.
Musical acts including local blues band The Smokestacks, Jonny Hazard Band and local reggae band ST1 will perform at this year's Mountain Fest on Saturday, June 29 from noon until 5 p.m.
New this year, Birdies & Beers will be held separately from Mountain Fest on Saturday, Aug. 3. The 18-hole disc golf competition and beer festival will start at 8 a.m.
“Lee Canyon’s summer visitation has increased three-fold in recent years,” says Dan Hooper, Lee Canyon’s general manager. “Offering Mountain Fest and Birdies and Beers as separate events enables us to evolve each into a more meaningful experience for our guests.”

The Mountain Fest stage will be on Rabbit Peak; guests are encouraged to bring blankets or low-profile portable chairs.
