Officials grant permit for music festival near Grand Teton

JACKSON, Wyo. — Officials will allow a metal music festival to take place again east of Grand Teton National Park.

The Jackson Hole News and Guide reports the Teton County administrator granted a special event permit last week for the Fire in the Mountains festival scheduled for July 13-14 at Heart Six Ranch in Moran.

The permit was issued following a review by the Teton County Sheriff’s Office and Jackson Hole Fire and EMS.

The county has imposed conditions, including prohibiting on-site camping, limiting amplified noise and requiring consultation with the state Game and Fish Department to protect wildlife.
