About Movement On The Mountain Music Festival
Independent. Community-First. Western Pennsylvania.
What Is Movement On The Mountain?
Movement On The Mountain Music Festival is an independent, multi-day outdoor camping festival held in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. MOTM was created to give the greater Pittsburgh region — and reggae fans across the East Coast — a genuine community gathering rooted in live music, open air, and independent artistry.
The festival spans three days and nights, featuring a multi-genre lineup anchored in reggae, rock, and reggae-rock, with late-night DJ sets and fire performances lighting up the mountain after dark. Camping is included with every ticket — no separate purchase required. MOTM is all-ages, family-welcoming, and built for people who buy experiences over products.
Now heading into its next chapter, MOTM has grown into a destination event drawing attendees from Pittsburgh, Erie, Cleveland, and beyond. What started as a bold idea to bring a world-class camping festival experience to the hills of Western PA has evolved into something the community has made its own — a three-day reunion of strangers who quickly become family.
The 2027 festival will bring a new venue, a new lineup, and the same soul that has defined every year. The mountains are calling. The fire is already burning.

About Bald Hippie Productions
Bald Hippie Productions is a Pittsburgh-based independent event planning, booking, and promotion company with a single-minded purpose: to champion independent artistic talent and create spaces where communities connect through live music.
Founded on the belief that the best festivals aren't built by corporations — they're built by people who actually show up, get their boots muddy, and love what they do — Bald Hippie Productions brings the same hands-on energy to every event it produces. From artist booking to on-site production, every decision is made with the audience in mind.
Movement On The Mountain is the flagship event, but the mission behind it is bigger than any single festival. Bald Hippie Productions exists to be the architects of unforgettable experiences — the kind that people talk about on the drive home and plan their summer around the following year.
We don't just produce festivals — we build the moments people carry with them for years. Every fire lit, every song played, every stranger who becomes a friend under these stars — that's the work. That's always been the work.
