Cascade Equinox Is Ahead of Us!
Summer festival season 2025 will end at Cascade Equinox in Redmond, Oregon, September 19-21. While some revel in the idea of pumpkin spiced everything, Cascade Equinox music fans will squeeze out the remaining drops of sunshine in one of the most beautiful areas of the United States.
Sylvan Esso, Big Gigantic, and Disclosure headline the 3 day fest. The overall lineup is eclectic with a dance and groove focus. Passion Pit will have millennials swooning over their DJ set as they bring fresh elements to some of their classic songs like “Sleepy Head” to Cascade Equinox’s festival grounds. Don’t miss the Colombian psychedelic-cumbia-funk trio, BALTHVS as they bring their jungle sound to the mountains of Oregon.

Cascade Equinox will feature 10 different “Environments”. These installations will fuse music and various forms of art in different locations around the festival. There is a roller disco in the fest. Yes, bring your blades or classic skates (rentals available) and roll around listening to live music and DJs at the ‘Solar Spin’.
One of the coolest vendors at the festival will be the ZapTrip Mobile Tattoo. Located near the mainstage, come get a tattoo from Bend, Oregon local Matt (Hew) Brown. No better way to make your Cascade Equinox memories with permanent art on your body.
Cascade Equinox is a camping festival with early arrival with special performances for early attendees to get the party started before the fest officially opens on Friday the 19th. If your body starts feeling a little tight, make sure to stop by ‘The Oasis’ and relieve those aches at a mobile bathhouse within the campgrounds. Bring the family and spend time at ‘The Orbit’ doing arts and crafts or if you simply need a break from the sun.
Cascade Equinox has a space for everyone. A blend of rave and indie music culture will keep spirits high throughout the weekend. Vendors and artists will keep bellies and minds full as well celebrate the changing of seasons.
Pack out what you pack in. Drink lots of water and go have a good time!
