Groovefest American Music Festival is a multi-day music festival held in Cedar City, Utah, a small town at the base of Cedar Mountain along I-15.
The festival is held each year at the end of June. It is a five-day festival that is dedicated to American music, such as Blues & Folk, Bluegrass & Country Western, Americana, Jazz, etc.
The first Groovefest American Music Festival was held in 2001. It took place in the parking lot behind what is now Main Street Grill. In 2002 it was moved to Main Street Park in Cedar City and has occurred there ever since. As a tribute to the 10 year anniversary, in 2011, the promoters featured not only repeat performers but brought back performers from nearly every year of Groovefest.
Past artists have included Trampled by Turtles, Pert Near Sandstone, Richmond Fontaine, The Congress, Great American Taxi, Moses Guest, Wayword Sons, 56 Hope Road, and Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash.
