STOOPFEST.
MARCH 7, 2026.
ephemeral is excited to announce Stoopfest, a performance arts festival presented on porches, trailer beds, front steps, side yards, and stoops across Moab.
Sponsored in part by Moab City RAPTax, Stoopfest will be free to attend, with tips and donations encouraged. No markets, no booths, no tickets, no roof! Just weird and wonderful ideas, devised and performed on our stoops.
Submit your performance idea or
porch hosting capabilities by December 14!
MORE DETAILS
On Saturday, March 7, the public will be invited to enjoy a series of performances hosted across Moab. Featured performance artists will be supported with budget, cast, crew, technical support, musicians, builders, actors, costume closets, and the informal stages of local stoops and porches. We’re looking for approximately 45-minute-long performances at each location—each stoop may host a series of short pieces or one longer show (or an experiential other thing)—and a community crawl between stages. In addition to progressive porch performances on Saturday afternoon, the weekend will involve workshops and pop-up events. Submit your performance piece (between five to 45 minutes long), pop-up event, or workshop idea.
Stoopfest is an invitation for all who love Moab, locals and visitors alike, to explore art of place with emphasis on self-expression, connection, and creation.
