Through HEST’s 1 % for the Planet commitment, HESTIVAL is dedicated to public lands in partnership with The Conservation Alliance and Western Slope Conservation Center, HESTIVAL 2026 is dedicated to protecting the landscapes that bring us together - from the Western Slope of Colorado, home to HESTIVAL, to all the wild places across the country. The goal? Keep the spirit of the weekend what it’s always been - fun, community-driven, and rooted in getting outside - while using our platform to inspire action, awareness, and long-term stewardship.
Throughout the weekend, HESTIVAL becomes more than a “festival” - it becomes a space to engage with the real issues shaping public lands today. From local challenges on the Western Slope to national conversations around access, conservation, and policy, attendees will have the opportunity to learn, participate, and take action in ways that feel approachable and meaningful. Here’s the many way how: The Conservation Alliance (TCA) is HEST’s 1% for the Planet partner and the national nonprofit partner for HESTIVAL. For decades, TCA has united outdoor brands to fund grassroots organizations defending public lands, wildlife habitat, and outdoor access. HEST is also proud to be a TCA Brands for Public Lands member, a commitment that reflects our belief that public lands are essential for clean water, healthy ecosystems, recreation, and community well-being. Supporting these places is a core value that guides how we design products and choose partners.

HESTIVAL has always been about bringing people together around a shared love for the outdoors.
This year, it’s about taking that love one step further.
It’s about recognizing that these places need our support — and that when we come together, we can actually make a difference.
Come for the weekend.
Leave with a deeper connection- and a reason to protect it.
