Although the idea of a multi-day, multi-venue music festival has been bruited since the mid-'80s,

Months before any bands had even been announced for the Second Annual Treefort Music Fest, scheduled for March 21–24, 2013,
The second annual Treefort Music Fest aimed at the fence[
Overall the four days of the music festival was acclaimed as turning Boise itself into the sociological third place as different artistic communities converged in a state and city where (the maximum of) six degrees of separation does not exist,[54] and was praised for its high organization and good spirits in showcasing the best independent music North America has to offer[55][56] and being a safe haven for all walks of life.[57] "Happy Treefort" became a common greeting,[58] and "Treeforting" and "Postfort" also entered the lexicon.[59][60]
2014
The third annual festival, in March 2014, endeavored to be more "
The third festival kicked off with a "blast from the past" featuring the reunion of several notable Boise bands; the combined efforts of nearly 400 volunteers (vis-à-vis the nearly 200 for the inaugural festival and the more than 300 for the second)[72] supported bands from the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States over the course of the festival.[73] Treefort included 140 local bands among the more than 350 during its third year, a testament to the festival's burgeoning creativity.[74] The festival averaged 7,000 people a day, an increase over the 6,000 people a day in 2013, had to order more Over 21 wristbands Saturday afternoon, and was expected to turn a profit for the first time. Although approximately 7,500 attended Saturday night and local bars experienced a boom in business, the Boise Police Department issued no open alcohol container citations or responded to any significant incidents.[75] Overall the third festival was described as having "veered more confidently than ever toward emerging artists in all genres" and having been an extensive community[76] and cultural event where "good attitudes all but fell from the sky."[77]
In August 2014 it was announced that Treefort had yet to make a profit (although it had come close to doing so in 2014), and that the festival was applying to change its business status from that of a
2015
The fourth annual festival, March 24-19 2015,[82] booked 430 acts[83][84] and was supported by some 600 volunteers, approximately 15% of whom went over their required nine hours of volunteer time.[85] Local bands included Magic Sword, Hollow Wood, Thick Business, Transistor Send, Marshall Poole, Calico the Band, and Sun Blood Stories.[83] It also featured Kidfort,[86] Storyfort (a "loose literary happening "like a miniature version of Readings & Conversations,"[87] and performance art featuring neo-burlesque amongst other artistic endeavours, "the trippiest part of Treefort,"[88] as well as a midnight to 4 a.m. Breakfastfort at El Korah, thus pulling out all the stops.[4] The overlapping of synergistic events was of such complexity that the Boise Weekly published a layout of Venn diagrams,[89] and some of the venues did not typically host musical acts.[15]
Band Dialogue III featured a dozen bands with their respective instrumental kit lined up on both sides of Grove St. conducted by Seth Olinsky holding up placards marked E, F#, B, and so on, riffing and generating shifting walls of sound.[90]
The festival was critically acclaimed for fostering "a genuine community between festival workers, festival goers and bands," with an emphasis on an electronic music trend (most notably with Emily Wells),[91] although "raw, rootsy, reverb-drenched, dreamy, dramatic and other descriptors for guitar music" were in abundance.[92] More generally, its ethos was that of a "manageable experience devoid of douche bags and marketing companies infiltrating every crevice of the event."[93] Furthermore, "For a fourth year festival, Treefort is pretty mature. Over a five-day stretch, some 400 bands play about a dozen venues throughout downtown Boise, from impromptu outdoor stages to small clubs and arcades. The lineup is strong, the organization is admirable and, perhaps most importantly, the city loves to play host. The result is a fishbowl scenario wherein bands and fans are constantly running into each other, exchanging remarks, ideas, cigarettes and contact info in Idaho’s delightfully compact capitol... When Treefort assembles, the entire city puts on the festival wristband."[94] More generally the festival was also characterized for having demonstrating Boise's potential "to nurture the convergence of the big, bright, sprawling, conservative, mountain, desert west and the dark, creative, lush, liberal, urban centers of the Pacific Northwest."[95] While the number of attendees has increased annually, the percentage of out-of-towners remains steady at roughly 25%, and baristas’ tip averages doubled.[96]
In October it was announced that the 2015 festival had broken even, and that Treefort had in the summer become a
2016
The 2016 lineup was expected to feature more than 400 bands, including notable Boise acts Built to Spill, Hollow Wood, Thomas Paul, Toy Zoo, The Dirty Moogs, Get Wet +, Dark Swallows and Edmond Dantes.
The fifth annual festival was acclaimed as "possibly the most dynamic fest in the Northwest,"[106] and "a unique celebration of art and music."[107]
2017
The sixth annual Treefort's initial announcement of 75 bands was characterized as being, as usual, "an insanely eclectic geyser of bands";[108] ultimately 411 bands were announced in a "fake news," mockumentary, news satire format.[109] With a wide variety of "forts,"[110][111] initial non-musical offerings ranged from a seminar by refugees (hosted by Mayor Dave Bieter himself) to Jungo Blizzard, a macro-puppet 25 feet tall with an arm span of 45 feet[112] based on the video game character from Primal Rage which is too large to get onto the main stage but which is generally expected to be ambushing festival goers,[113] to symposiums on podcasts.[114] More than 20 volunteers (of the 700 volunteers overall)[115] set up Treefort regalia throughout downtown Boise utilizing its comprehensive yet incremental aesthetic which subtly changes annually.[112]
Musically, one reviewer opined that "With a lineup so large, at Treefort it’s as easy to miss everything as it is to miss nothing. Having a planned schedule when approaching the fest is mainly a plan for fools as the best part about Treefort is stumbling on to those afternoon pop-up sets at the Modern Hotel, or being just a little too deep in your Axe Handle IPL to march from the Linen Building to Pengilly’s. Either way, no one leaves Treefort disappointed, and everyone leaves with a new favorite artist."
Additionally The Boise All-ages Movement Project (styled B-AMP), an Idaho

Despite the occasionally inclement weather (it snowed on the morning of the final day), one power outage, and cancellations (one due to visa issues), both the inclusiveness of Treefort, bringing together as it does every imaginable walk of life, and the stellar musical acts, caused it to be hailed as "the greatest music festival in the country."[11] Although its profit did not increase, the 2018 festival experienced its largest consecutive year increase, with 24,000 people attending, a 33% jump from 2017's 18,000 attendees.[132]
2019
The 8th Annual Treefort featured the headliners Liz Phair, Dan Deacon and Angélique Kidjo's Remain in Light[133] (the latter of whom unfortunately had to cancel due to illness). Music Festival Wizard opined that "Boise in Idaho may sound like an odd city choice for an epic festival, but the Treefort festival continues to impress us year after year. Treefort typically takes places the week after SXSW to take advantage of artists heading back to the Northwest. Short lines and a welcoming city continually keeps Treefort at the top of our list."[134] 432 bands and solo artists had been booked,[135][136] amongst other endeavors,[137] in a collective ensemble which has been described as "exhilarating"[138] and which "inspires swells of creativity."[139] Paste Magazine noted that "There’s no space or tolerance for foul moods at Treefort, where the music is good and the people are great."[140] Along these lines, an updated, comprehensive sexual harassment policy was put in place which featured on ubiquitous signage.[141][142]
2020
The initial line-up for 2020 (released November 2019) featured 120 bands from 14 countries, with the headliners being Chromatics and Japanese Breakfast.[143] Penultimately however the festival was postponed until September 23–27 due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[144] and ultimately until both September 22–26, 2021 and March 23–27, 2022 whereupon it was planned to become an annual vernal festival again.[145]
2021
Proof of
2022
The festival returned to nearly its pre-COVID attendance, with a larger line-up and more five-day pass-holders than ever before; the headliners were Surf Curse, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Dinosaur Jr., and more. [150]
2023
The festival injects a record-breaking $11M into the local economy, in part due to the soggy weather.[151]
2024
Nearly 500 bands feature, including 37 international artists from Australia, Iceland, Japan, Malawi, New Zealand, and Ukraine.
