Directions

Please be advised when driving out that Ten Mile Road is under major construction.. Drive through Kuna City to avoid slow moving detours.

 

The Hermit Music Festival will be held at Indian Creek Winery near Kuna, Idaho. If you have a fancy GPS unit, you can set it for 1000 N McDermott, Kuna, ID 83634 and do whatever that charming voice tells you to do. For those of you who are more old school, there’s a map below and some driving directions.

From Boise take I-84 west to the Kuna/Meridian exit and follow Hwy 69 South for approximately 10 min. Turn right on Columbia and follow this until it crosses the tracks and go left on Greenhurst. Take an immediate right onto McDermott. Follow McDermott south for 3 miles until you see the winery on your left about 1/2 mile south of Deer Flat.

From Nampa take I I-84 east to the Garrity exit and head south. Turn left on Flamingo, at the light just past the shopping center. Take the first right on Happy Valley and go about 6.5 miles to Deer Flat. Turn left on Deer Flat and go two miles to McDermott and turn right. The winery will be on your left about 1/2 mile south of Deer Flat.

If you’re coming in from the south, you probably know this country better than we do. Take whatever roads seem best.

Vendors

From the beginning, the Hermit Music Festival has been about more than music.

The vendors listed here are a vital part of what makes the Hermit Music Festival special.

About

Travis and I got together one day and decided how great it would be to have an acoustic music festival here in the valley. We both had the similar visions, and they collided. We started getting together and brainstorming what it would look like and become… It would feature local artisans, craft wine and beer, food trucks, kids activities, participant dance, workshops and craft vendors all surrounded by amazing music.

The music would be from local sources as well as regional acts covering genres of the blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and singer-songwriter.

We’ve dove off the deep end and created this festival for you. It is a community event, from the volunteers to the musicians, from the artists and to the participants. We love this music, we love this community and this is our way of giving back and contributing. Listen to live music. Be alive.

Ava Honey and Travis Ward
