Festival
Desert Dungeon Fest is an exciting music festival taking place in Joshua Tree, California, at the picturesque Coyote Run Studio on November 8th-9th, 2025. This event promises an unforgettable fusion of music and tabletop gaming.
What to Bring...
In November, the weather of the desert is beautiful during the day, but quite chilly at night. Expect temperatures of about 70°F during the day, and 46°F at night. Be sure to pack layers, warm hats, jackets, and long pants to enjoy the live music performances during the evening on our outdoor stage at Coyote Run!
We will have food trucks and vendors at the event for lunch and dinner, and alcohol available for those who'd like to partake. Drinking horns are welcome!
There will also be labels and vendors selling merch and other oddities at their tables, so bring a tote bag if you'd like to acquire some artifacts to bring home from your adventure!
Fantasy, Renaissance, or Medieval attire is encouraged and welcome, but not required!
If you bring prop weapons (swords, maces, staves, etc.), please be sure they are sheathed, safely kept, dull, and not a danger to yourself or anyone around you.
And though we love our furry familiar companions, please do not bring them to this event unless they are service animals.
