Join us for an electric, all-day community celebration featuring a community climbing competition, entertainment, music, food trucks, raffles, open finals, and community connection. It’s open to everyone, and the competition is perfect for all climbers—from beginners to experts.

We can only put on this incredible community weekend with the help of a lot of volunteers. Join us by signing up to judge the open qualifier and intermediate rounds on Friday evening, support our youth and family  climbers on Saturday morning, or judge our community rounds on Saturday. 

Volunteers receive a Boulderfest T-shirt, 2 free day passes for future use, and often make new friends in the process!

WHAT'S HAPPENING
1️⃣ COMMUNITY COMP 🧗
Boulderfest is an all-levels climbing competition. Whether you’ve been climbing for years, or it’s your first ever comp, you’ll find something fun and challenging for you to climb! The routes are the absolute best of what Bouldering Project and our setting team have to offer. It’s an incredible experience to climb and to watch others climb!

2️⃣ PRIZES 🎁
Everyone who competes has a chance to win awesome prizes! Each boulder topped = one raffle ticket entry. We have incredible prizes from our sponsors and local brands, and the raffle is always a blast!

3️⃣ OPEN CATEGORY FINALS 🏆
This year our finals will have 3 categories: Non-Binary, Women's, and Men's. Boulderfest weekend culminates in an electric Open Finals competition on Saturday evening. Pro climbers and incredible athletes compete to claim the title of Boulderfest ’24 champion! The winners take home the cash purse and bragging rights.

4️⃣ ALL DAY PARTY 🎉
The day kicks off with our community competition and is followed by a whole day of activities. Our vendor market, games, post-climb beer, live DJ and Open Finals, make the day one giant party you won’t want to miss!

5️⃣ VENDOR VILLAGE 🛍️
When you’re not climbing, hang out in our Vendor Village where you’ll find great products, food and beverage, fun games, and more!
