Truckerfest Music Festival 2026

Truckerfest Music Festival is a 3-day outdoor music gathering hosted by Happy Productions at the Mille Lacs County Fairgrounds in Princeton, MN.
Yeah, it gets its name from the Happy Trucker Show but this is not just a “trucker” festival. It is for anyone who loves real music and real people. The same folks behind The Listening Room built Truckerfest with one goal, to create a weekend that feels like your favorite local show, just bigger, outside, and stretched across three days.
The vibe is unpretentious, laid-back, and friendly. You will see a mix of ages, backgrounds, boots, band tees, lawn chairs, and dancing in the grass. Americana, roots, blues, country, swing, rockabilly, and rock, a little bit of everything and somehow it all fits. It is “bands and genres that don’t suck,” shared with a community that actually listens, cheers, and sticks around.
Multiple stages. Camping. Cold drinks. Late-night hangs. Just good music, good people, and a weekend that feels like it was built for the kind of crowd that truly loves live music.
