Into the Trees 2026: Rossland Micro Festival Announces Full Lineup and Ticket Details
The Into the Trees Music Festival will return to Rossland, British Columbia, for a three‑day run from Labor Day weekend, September 4‑6, 2026. The event, staged in the forested grove behind the Ram’s Head Hotel, has released its full lineup and announced that early‑bird tickets are sold out, leaving only a handful of $249 weekend passes. The festival is billed as a “micro festival,” a term the organizer, Daniel D’Amour, uses to describe the intimate, community‑focused format.
Headliners for the weekend include Delhi 2 Dublin, Elliott BROOD, and Shred Kelly. The roster also features international touring acts such as Australia’s Kim Churchill, Toronto’s Andrew Collins Trio, Calgary’s JJ Shiplett, and Kelowna’s Dan Tait Band. The lineup emphasizes indie‑folk, twang, and mountain‑indie styles, reflecting the local musical culture of the West Kootenay region.
The festival, held in the forested grove behind the Ram’s Head Hotel, is part of Rossland’s growing cultural calendar. The Ram’s Head, a historic hotel located near the Red Mountain Resort, provides a scenic backdrop for the event. The festival’s micro‑festival format keeps the audience small, allowing performers to interact closely with attendees and fostering a sense of community.
Tickets are available in several formats. A single‑day pass costs $99 and limits attendance to 400 people, allowing fans to see 21 acts across two stages. Weekend passes are priced at $249, with only a handful remaining after the early‑bird sale. Digital tickets can be purchased through the Flying Steamshovel website and include a transferable instruction upon purchase. For more information, the festival’s website intothetrees.ca and its Instagram account @intothetrees provide updates.
The festival’s schedule runs from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and concludes at 10 p.m. on Sunday to respect local neighbors. Gates open at 5 p.m. daily, and food trucks on site serve tacos and poke bowls. A new family‑friendly daytime event will feature craft beer, cider, and wine tastings from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $10, or free for weekend pass holders, and includes drinks from 12 regional producers such as Rossland Beer Co., Tailout Brewing, West Cyderz, Wild North Brewing, and Yellow Dog. Non‑alcoholic options are also available for younger attendees.
To ease local transit, a complimentary shuttle departs from the Flying Steamshovel at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, and at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The organizer emphasizes the festival’s community scale and scenic setting, noting that the venue’s intimacy allows attendees to experience touring acts in a unique setting. The event is described as a “micro festival” that keeps the crowd small and local, fostering a close connection between performers and the Rossland audience.
Rossland, located in the West Kootenay region of south‑central British Columbia, is a year‑round destination for mountain bikers, golfers, and anglers. The city’s proximity to the Red Mountain Resort ski hills and its forested surroundings make it an attractive venue for outdoor events. Into the Trees, now in its second year, leverages the town’s natural setting to create an intimate music experience that complements Rossland’s outdoor‑centric identity.
With early‑bird tickets already sold out and only a few weekend passes left, the festival’s organizers are preparing for a limited‑capacity, three‑day event that aims to showcase a mix of local and touring artists while maintaining a small‑scale, community‑focused atmosphere. Ticket holders can expect two stages, a curated lineup, and ancillary activities such as food trucks and a craft‑drinks tasting. The festival will conclude on Sunday, September 6, 2026, with all remaining details available on the official website and social media channels.
