Valley of the Vapors Offers More Than Music

Begonia returns as headliner for VOV.

Low Key Arts is pleased to present the 18th annual Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival, taking place Friday-Sunday, March 18-20, at Cedar Glades Park in Hot Springs. 

Confirmed performers for this year’s festival include returning headliners, BEGONIA (Winnipeg) and CARINAE (Northampton, MA), as well as GIFT (NYC), TUNIC (Winnipeg), FEMALE DEMAND (Houston), HOT GARBAGE (Toronto), GODCASTER (NYC), SMUT (Chicago), and more. 

After COVID-19 forced the cancelation of VOV in 2020, the festival returned in late 2021 with a highly successful 2-day edition in October, the first event of its kind at Cedar Glades Park. 

Taking full advantage of the spacious and magical setting provided by the park, VOV clearly turned a corner last year, attracting larger audiences than ever before, despite the lingering pandemic and, at times, very uncooperative weather. The addition of camping, a “vendor village,” and the outdoor aspect of the festival in general, have served to bring a whole new atmosphere to this well-established and highly beloved event. 

As SXSW in Austin has returned for 2022, so too has VOV, back in its regularly-scheduled mid-March slot, luring some of the very best underground bands to Hot Springs on their way into or out of Texas. Once again the festival will include vendors, food and refreshments, and abundant outdoor activities for attendees of all ages. 

Tickets: from $20 for a daily music pass to $75 for an all-weekend 3-day all-inclusive music and camping pass. Children aged 12 and under: Free. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.ValleyoftheVapors.com.
