October 11-13, 2013

Shift is slated to be an annual festival, held each October in Jackson, Wyoming. The focus of the event is to celebrate the central role of conservation in Jackson Hole. Shift’s mission is to inspire communities to preserve the natural capital that is vital to their economic success. The festival is designed to accomplish two goals: to help conservation-oriented communities, organizations, and individuals worldwide begin to develop the framework for 21st century conservation efforts, while simultaneously enhancing the local economy during its traditionally slow fall season.

The 2013 Shift Festival, which will be held on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 11-13, will be a limited, localized event that establishes the programming and framework for the full launch in October 2014. We encourage you to come out and see what this festival has to offer. Three nights of programming will use food, music and film to explore the intersection of conservation with nature, culture and adventure.

The Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism  Joint Powers Board has heavily invested in this event in hopes of creating something to boost the local economy during a slower time in the valley.
