THE VENUE

DELORO VALLEY

The music is only part of the weekend.

Deloro Valley is a 132-acre summer camp and retreat tucked into the Sierra foothills. Between sets, spend your days by the pool, explore the property, join a game with friends, or simply find a quiet place to relax under the trees.

Whether you're dancing until sunrise or taking it slow by the water, there's always something happening.

  • People dancing and socializing in a dimly lit nightclub with colorful lights, a disco ball, and hanging geometric decor.
  • Three women in bikinis sitting on towels beside a pool, with trees and a wooden fence in the background.
  • People playing and splashing in a swimming pool on a sunny day, with trees in the background.
  • A park with lush green grass, tall trees with autumn foliage, a playground with swings, and a building in the background under a clear blue sky.
  • Aerial view of a crowded swimming pool with people swimming, floating on inflatables, and relaxing on pool floats, surrounded by umbrellas and chairs.
  • Outdoor area at night with hanging string lights, trees, and blue and red lighting accents on structures, empty benches, and pathways.

    LAWN GAMES

    Sometimes the best moments happen between the big moments.

WELLNESS & EXPERIENCES

Desert Hearts Microfest is more than a music festival.

Throughout the weekend, guests can begin the day with yoga, unwind in the saunA, enjoy poolside gatherings, and discover moments of connection beyond the dance floor.

Whether you're seeking restoration, inspiration, or simply a place to slow down between sets, Deloro Valley offers space for all of it.
