Courtesy of Watershed Music Festival Festivals, fairs and events are returning across the West this summer. Here are the ones you don’t want to miss. Sunset staff – July 16, 2021 Summer events are returning up and down the West with old traditions and new editions. You can listen to live music at one of the big stages over the next few months, watch hot air balloons float across the sky, or simply take the family to pick some fresh fruit. One major event back in a big way this summer is the music festival. See Garth Brooks and Maren Morris at Wyomingâs Cheyenne Frontier Days or Post Malone at Utahâs Hive Music Festival. If youâre more of a foodie, pick fresh strawberries at Californiaâs Carlsbad Strawberry and Sunflower Fields or grab a new brew at Idahoâs Magic Valley Beer Festival. For more of a cultural experience, Nevada has the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival and New Mexico has Art Santa Fe.
