Continental Drift Music Festival is a one-day, grassroots music festival held Nebraska.  It has been running since 2012, making it one of Nebraska’s longest-running music festivals. Originally held at Riverwest Park in Omaha, it relocated to the Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area in 2017 and was held there for seven years. Now, it’s back in the heart of Omaha at The Granary in Ralston.

Since 2012, area bands have been bringing rock, folk, indie, powerpop, Americana, soul, alt-country, and singer-songwriter music to the great Nebraska outdoors. Organized by Onken-Stein Records, the festival usually includes a line-up of 5-11 bands playing throughout the course of the day.  Certain years featured a movie on the drive-in style screen at the end of the night.
