ABOUT MOONLIT DUNES

Welcome to Moonlit Dunes, an immersive electronic music experience set beneath the open skies and glowing desert moon.

Held deep in the heart of the Southwest, this annual festival transforms the arid landscape into a surreal sonic playground. As twilight fades and the dunes cool, the desert comes alive with pulsing rhythms, hypnotic visuals, and the shared energy of a connected crowd.

Moonlit Dunes brings together an eclectic lineup of electronic artists ranging from ambient dream-weavers and deep house explorers to techno architects and experimental producers. Here, it’s not just about the music. It’s about the journey.

ON-SITE CAMPING

At Moonlit Dunes, the experience doesn’t end when the music pauses, it transforms. Our on-site camping area lets you stay immersed in the magic of the desert, with space to unwind, connect, and reset between sets.

Surrounded by the stillness of the dunes and the vast night sky, you'll find cozy community camp zones, curated ambient lounges, and shaded daytime rest areas. Whether you’re winding down in a stargazing hammock or sipping tea in a quiet corner with fellow festival-goers, the vibe is always intentional and welcoming.
