Launch Guide: Escape To Coconino

Happy Escape To Coconino! The time is officially here, Cocos, and we have some key details to help ensure you have a smooth weekend. The festival heads back to the Pepsi Amphitheater in Fort Tuthill County Park. The festival amenities this year include various food and craft vendors, but please note that this event is a cashless festival.

This year, Relentless Beats listened to the community and moved to a weekend where more fans could attend Escape To Coconino. With that came some restrictions and the unexpected challenge of limited camping availability. Rather than wait another year to reunite, they decided to embrace the adventure. If you are still looking for lodging for the weekend, you can reference this guide for recommended nearby options.

2025 Set Times

Coconauts Pop-Up Event

Calling all Coconauts! A pop-up is being held from 12-2 p.m. at Mother Road Brewing with a special DJ set from our local beloved Nealson, on Saturday, July 19th. If you attended Campout ’24, you had the opportunity to snag a free commemorative flag. Reservation links were sent out on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to bring your valid photo ID that matches the reservation to pick up your flag at the pop-up.
