Blue Ox Music Festival — Hotel in Town of Union

Blue Ox Music Festival is hands-down one of the most amazing festivals I’ve ever attended. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed into a vibrant, down-to-earth community filled with good vibes, incredible music, and beautiful surroundings.

The festival is wonderfully family-friendly, with plenty of space for kids to roam and enjoy, thoughtful and fun activities on the family stage for kiddos of all ages. Blue Ox has a safe, relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and be present. It's the kind of place where generations can enjoy music, art, and nature together.

The grounds are absolutely stunning—rolling hills, shaded woods, and open fields provide the perfect backdrop for both the main stage energy and the more intimate late-night sets. Whether you're camping or glamping, the amenities are top-notch: clean showers, accessible water stations, delicious food options, and well-organized camping make the whole experience seamless and comfortable.

What really sets Blue Ox apart, though, is the sense of community and creativity. The art installations and friendly faces around every corner add so much color and personality to the event.

If you're looking for a music festival that’s as rejuvenating as it is fun—Blue Ox is it. Can’t wait to come...

This year was different and some things were good and some not so good. Loved being able to buy food with cash rather than tickets. However, no buses for people parking and not staying in campgrounds. Just small handicap bus which you could ride if there was space.

The Sheriff Department deputies were, as usual, good and bad. The bad staff overshadowed the truly helpful deputies. I'm in my 60's and got lost out in country first night when I left. I politely asked if I could please go straight on Crescent. The parking lot was almost empty and there was room to drive straight. The officer yelled at me and asked, "Do you know how to drive?" and then screamed at me to turn left. I said I've just been driving out in the country for 1/2 hour, can I please go the way I know. I had 3 ladies from out of town also. They couldn't believe how rude and the officer was. He again yelled at me. I heard the same story from other people. Are you here to serve and protect? Bottom line: no reason to be...

This was such an incredible event and an amazing location! I was of course expecting to love the music but I was honestly blown away by the technical prowess and energy of every single band we saw. I loved how close together the stages were, we really got to experience so many bands with relatively little walking back and forth. The visibility was great and the lights from the main stage on the pines at night were stunning. The backwoods stage was absolutely magical. This was my first year and I heard there was a lot more art than previous years. Keep it going, we love the art!! The campsites were reasonably spacious without making the site too sprawling. The food trucks were stellar of course, my only regret is not getting to try all of them. LOVED the easy access to water, super important at an event like this. Port-a-potties were well maintained and easy to access and the showers were appreciated.

Overall, AMAZING shows and comfortable camping! Looking forward...
