Bonanza Campout canceled in Heber, after the 3-day music event was denied a liquor permit and business license

The Bonanza Campout, a three-day music festival set to bring 36 acts to the woods near Heber, has been cancelled, organizers announced Wednesday.

The cancellation came after news last week that the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control would not give the 4-year-old event a liquor license, and that Wasatch County was denying organizers a business license.

“After reviewing all alternative options, we have come to the conclusion that there is no possible way to relocate the festival and still provide both artists and attendees with the same level of production and fan experience that Bonanza Campout has become known for,” organizers said in a statement sent by the event’s publicist, Adam St.
