The summer of 2025 was a big year for the Wyoming State Park system, as it began a new program called ‘Tunes on the Trail.‘ The program, a collaboration among Wyoming State Parks, the Wyoming Arts Council, and the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, brought together two of Wyoming’s favorite activities: the arts and the outdoors. With last year’s four events being a hit, they’re gearing up to do it again this summer.

This year’s dates are set, and four new parks will host the events in 2026.
- June 6, 2026: Guernsey State Park
- July 11, 2026: Seminoe State Park
- August 15, 2026: South Pass City State Historic Site
- August 22, 2026: Hot Springs State Park
Now that the dates are set, another piece of the puzzle needs to be figured out: who are the musical acts for those four dates? The answer to that question is simple. If you’re a musician, band, duo, or trio and can perform a 90-minute unplugged set, YOU could be the entertainment.
If you’re interested in playing in one of these events, you have until February 6 at 11:59 pm to submit your application.
