The Story of
Hwy 30 Music Fest

What Drives Us

Gordy's Hwy 30 Music Festival began in 2009 as a fundraiser for a local school close to our home in Fairfield, Idaho. Hosting that first festival made one thing clear: our real purpose is to give back to our community however we can. Since 2014 we've carried on the yearly Hwy 30 Music Festival tradition in Filer, Idaho, raising money for other organizations and for neighbors in need.

These days Hwy 30 Music Fest has grown into a major music event, with a lineup full of standout artists and bands — from country legends such as Ray Wylie Hubbard and the Turnpike Troubadours to rising stars like Kolby Cooper and Lainey Wilson, who just earned ACM New Female Artist and Song of the Year.

We'd love to see you at the next festival at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds in Twin Falls, Idaho, for four days of good friends, good fun, great food, and of course, live music!

The Hwy 30 Scholarship Fund

Gordy's Hwy 30 Music Fest got its start as a fundraiser for a local school. From the beginning, we've put event proceeds back into the community by creating a scholarship fund that helps families who need a hand.

Open to any student from Kindergarten through 12th Grade, the "Hwy 30 Scholarship" is worth $1000 and goes to three deserving students for use at the College of Southern Idaho.

To be considered, applicants must submit a 1-page essay on the topic "What the Star-Spangled Banner means to me" plus a 1-minute video of themselves performing a song of their choice. Winners also receive a pair of three-day passes and the chance to perform on one day of the 2023 Hwy 30 Music Festival.

Send all required materials to [email protected] by May 31, 2026 for your chance to win.

Food & Vendors

Hwy 30 Music Fest is fed by a lineup of fantastic local vendors, including Pizzeria Antico, Mikey's Kettle Corn, Big Fatty's Bar-B-Que, and more. An on-site beer garden pours a tasty selection of ice-cold beers for guests of age. And don't skip the sweets — grab a treat from Jitterbug Espressos and Smoothies or some ice cream while you take in the show!
