The Apache Lake Music Festival, now in its fifth year, has rounded up some of the Valley's most popular local draws for a two-day festival that takes place Friday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 25, at Apache Lake Resort and Marina in Roosevelt.

The lineup is: Banana Gun, Banshee Bones, Captain Squeegee, Carlos Arzate & the Kind Souls, Coobee Coo, Deadfoxx, Dry River Yacht Club, Ghetto Cowgirl, Hot Birds & the Chili Sauce, the Haymarket Squares, the Hourglass Cats, Japhy's Descent, Lee Perreria, Mr. Eastwood, Phoenix Afrobeat Orchetsra, Playboy Manbaby, Princess, the Prowling Kind, Sarah Robinson & the Midnight Special, Shawn Johnson & the Foundation, Sister Lip, Something Went Awry, the Shakers, the Sugar Thieves, Sunset Voodoo, Sweetgrass and the Woodworks.

Apache Lake sits along the Apache Trail, which heads northeast out of Apache Junction. The Lake is about two hour's drive from downtown Phoenix.



Camping at Apache Lake is on a first-come first-served basis. There are plenty of camping spots but early arrival is recommended for lakeside locations. A $5 per car camping pass is required and good for the entire weekend. There are indoor bathrooms and showers available to all campers. The festival asks that you bring trash bags and use the on-site garbage cans and dumpsters to keep the camping areas clean.

Tickets are $35-$40, available online at apachelakemusicfestival.com.
