UPDATES TO HIGH GROUND IN 2022
What changes can we look forward to at High Ground in 2022?
We are so excited about the changes to High Ground in 2022! We are now a 2-day festival, which means twice the size, twice the amazing music, live art, installations, and fun, and twice as many opportunities to thrive in the vibey, chill, and beautiful community that is High Ground. Our new venue, Denver Polo Club is GORGEOUS, and gives us so much room to grow! 

I loved High Ground in 2021! What will be the same this year?
Returning Revelers can expect another year of amazing artists that simply make you feel fantastic. You'll discover local art and installations throughout the venue, our coveted TranscenDome, and other exciting activations, along with great food, beverages, and of course that mystical, community-driven High Ground vibe. 

Why are you switching venues?
We've always felt that High Ground would flourish in an open natural environment that expresses the magnificence of Colorado on the shoulder season, and with a sold-out inaugural experience in 2021, we were ready to migrate to a space that allows us to grow with our community. We loved everything about our 2021 debut at Levitt Pavilion, but we wanted to give you the one thing we couldn't do at Levitt: More High Ground. We found everything we were looking for at the Denver Polo Club, with lush open fields and snow-kissed mountains on the horizon. Denver Polo Club allows us to return in 2022 as an expanded 2-day music & arts experience.

Is there camping?
High Ground 2022 does NOT include camping. The nearest camping is a 15 minute drive away at the Chatfield State Park Campground.
