About Whitefish Songwriter Festival

Welcome to the Whitefish Songwriter Festival. For three days in September we will feature hit songwriters from Nashville and Rising Stars from across North America including Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alberta, and Nashville that will share their songwriting, creativity, and stories with you.

More than twenty songwriters will perform in thirty plus shows filling the theaters, restaurants, coffee shops and bars of Whitefish with some of the best songwriters in the music industry. Each show will feature two or three songwriters telling stories, trading songs and showcasing their creativity.

All we’re missing is you. We would like to invite you to beautiful and vibrant downtown Whitefish and we look forward to sharing this incredible weekend of songwriting, creativity and music with you.

The Whitefish Songwriter Festival is a production of the Rocky Mountain Songwriter Festivals, Inc. (RMSF). The RMSWF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated music education in local communities. Since its inception the Rocky Mountain Songwriter Festivals have gifted more than $100,000 to fulfill this mission.

Join us for the 3rd Annual Festival September 14, 15, and 16, 2023. There’s something for everyone. See you in September!
