A weekend hunting space rocks in the Arizona desert.
What Is This
Meteorite Fest is a weekend gathering on 40 acres of open desert between Holbrook and the Petrified Forest in northeastern Arizona. The area is known for meteorite finds — fragments from ancient impacts scattered across the terrain, waiting to be uncovered.
Show up Friday, camp under some of the darkest skies in the state, spend Saturday hunting for space rocks, and head out Sunday. Bring your crew, your camping gear, and your sense of adventure.

What to Bring
Camping gear, plenty of water, sun protection, layers for cold desert nights, a bundle of wood, and good vibes.
While You're Out There
Beyond the hunt, there's plenty to do on 40 acres of open desert.
Meteorite Hunting
Sweep the desert floor for meteorites and gem stones. The area is littered with all kinds of cool rocks.
Excavator Rides
We're renting an excavator for the weekend. Dig trenches, move earth, live out your heavy equipment dreams.
RZR Riding
Rip through the desert on UTVs. Miles of open terrain with nothing in the way.
Stargazing
Some of the darkest skies in Arizona. No light pollution for miles. Bring a telescope if you've got one.
Campfire
Every evening ends around the fire. Bring something to cook, something to drink, and something to burn (preferably wood).
