Jackson Hole This Month: June 2026 Events & Happenings

Slow Food in the Tetons People’s Market Opening Day — June 3

A beloved summer tradition returns as Slow Food in the Tetons kicks off the season for its weekly People’s Market. Held Wednesdays on the Center for the Arts lawn, the market brings together local food, regional makers, live music, and a distinctly community-minded approach to gathering.

Part farmers market, part neighborhood celebration, it’s an easy way to ease into June—and a delicious reminder that summer in Jackson Hole is best enjoyed outside, preferably with something locally grown in hand.

Snake River Fest — June 5–7

Snake River Fest returns for a weekend dedicated to the river that helps define life in the Tetons. Presented by the Jackson Hole Kayak Club, the free festival brings together river lovers, paddlers, families, and community members for a weekend of recreation, celebration, and stewardship.

Whether you’re there for the whitewater culture, the community energy, or simply a reason to spend more time outside, Snake River Fest offers a fitting start to the summer season.

Plein Air Fest, Etc. — June 13

At the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Plein Air Fest, Etc., artists take inspiration from the surrounding landscape in real time, creating works outdoors with the Tetons as muse and backdrop. The event offers visitors a chance to watch the creative process unfold while celebrating the region’s deep ties to landscape, wildlife, and visual art.

For collectors, art lovers, and anyone who appreciates seeing a blank canvas become something alive, this is one of June’s most distinctive cultural events.

Teton Mudpots Summer Sale — June 17–19

The Teton Mudpots Summer Sale brings together handmade pottery, prints, paintings, jewelry, and more from artists connected to the Art Association of Jackson Hole. Held over three days, the annual sale offers a chance to find one-of-a-kind pieces while supporting local artists and the studios that help sustain the community’s creative life.

From practical mugs and bowls to statement pieces with a little more personality, it’s a worthy stop for anyone looking to bring home something made by hand—and made here.

Music on Main Presents Built to Spill — June 18

Music on Main returns to Victor City Park with Built to Spill, bringing a dose of Idaho indie-rock legacy to one of the region’s favorite free summer concert series. The evening offers the familiar pleasures of a Teton Valley summer night: live music, open air, friends on blankets, and the easy energy of a community gathering around the stage.

For Jackson Hole music lovers, it’s a worthy trip over the pass—and a reminder that some of the summer’s best nights happen just across the state line.

1st Annual Eras Party: 1920s — June 18

History Jackson Hole invites guests to step back into the 1920s for the first annual Eras Party, an evening inspired by Jackson Hole during one of its most colorful decades. Held at the Jackson Hole History Museum, the event features Wyoming Whiskey cocktails, hors d’oeuvres by Provisions, live jazz, dramatic local history readings, and immersive period décor.

Tickets are $250 per person, with proceeds supporting History Jackson Hole’s mission to preserve and share local history. The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m.

Jackson Hole Food & Wine Summer Festival — June 25–27

Jackson Hole Food & Wine’s Summer Festival returns for three days of culinary programming set against one of the most spectacular backdrops in the West. The festival brings together chefs, winemakers, beverage experts, and guests for a series of tastings, dinners, and signature experiences designed to celebrate food, wine, and place.

Elegant without losing its sense of fun, the Summer Festival has become a signature warm-weather event for those who like their mountain adventures with a very good glass of wine.

The Center Benefit Featuring The California Honeydrops — June 28

The Center Benefit brings The California Honeydrops to Jackson for a feel-good summer concert supporting the Center for the Arts. Known for their infectious blend of soul, blues, R&B, and New Orleans-inspired grooves, the band brings the kind of energy that practically demands dancing.

As both a concert and a benefit, the evening offers a lively way to support one of Jackson Hole’s essential arts institutions while enjoying a big summer night out.

Ongoing Local Favorites

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

The Jackson Hole Playhouse’s 2026 summer production brings Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to the stage with a bold Western twist. Reimagined inside an Old West saloon, the beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical blends biblical storytelling with frontier flair, colorful characters, and plenty of rhinestone cowboy sparkle.

Running through the summer season, the production offers a playful, family-friendly night out in one of Jackson’s most classic performance settings.

Indigenous Arts and Cultural Demonstration Program & Speaker Series

Grand Teton National Park’s Indigenous Arts and Cultural Demonstration Program continues through the summer at Colter Bay Visitor Center, with the accompanying Speaker Series held Saturdays at Colter Bay Amphitheater. The program connects visitors with artists from the park’s 24 Associated Tribes through traditional and contemporary art forms, cultural knowledge, and storytelling.

More than a seasonal event, the series offers an opportunity to engage more deeply with the people, histories, and living cultures connected to this landscape. For visitors and locals alike, it’s a meaningful addition to any summer calendar.

National Park Access & Summer Adventures

Grand Teton National Park

By June, Grand Teton National Park is fully shifting into summer mode—but visitors should plan ahead for several construction projects that may affect travel times and trail access. Moose-Wilson Road will remain closed between the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve and Moose through June 19, with 45-minute delays expected from June 20 through September 7. Visitors should also expect delays near the Moose Entrance Station as work continues on a new Teton Park Road roundabout.

Several popular recreation areas are also affected. Death Canyon Road and Trailhead are closed as part of a longer-term relocation project, though hikers can still access Phelps Lake, Death Canyon, and destinations beyond from alternate trailheads. Taggart Lake Trailhead remains open, but the shorter northern route to Taggart Lake is closed for the season; hikers will need to use the longer, steeper southern route. Mormon Row remains open, though construction may affect the viewshed and soundscape nearby.

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone roads are open for the summer season, but visitors should still check current conditions before heading out. Park officials note that conditions can change quickly, short-term closures may not always appear on maps, and 2026 road work may cause delays, including up to 15-minute delays near the Gardner River High Bridge and up to 30-minute delays for parkwide chip sealing. Visitors should also keep bear safety top of mind: temporary trail, backcountry campsite, and fishing closures remain in effect northwest of Old Faithful following a May 4 bear incident involving two injured hikers. Geyser basin boardwalk areas remain open, but visitors are required to follow all posted closures, carry bear spray, keep proper distance from wildlife, and use extra caution in bear country.

June Weather Outlook

June in Jackson Hole often carries a little bit of everything: warm afternoons, cool mornings, quick-moving storms, and the occasional reminder that mountain weather does not care about your outfit. It’s one of the valley’s most beautiful months, but layers are still the rule.

Historically, the average temperatures in Jackson Hole in June range from highs in the low 70s to lows in the upper 30s. The month typically brings around 1.5 inches of precipitation. This year, the month may be shaping up to be warmer than average, which experts warn is increasing fire danger. When recreating outdoors, always be sure to fully extinguish any campfires and avoid parking in dry grass. 

Overall, expect summer energy with spring’s unpredictability still hanging around the edges—ideal for markets, concerts, river days, and patio evenings, as long as you keep a jacket handy.
