Medford, OR. – July 22, 2025, – In a continued effort to recognize the vital contributions of local firefighting personnel, the Britt Music & Arts Festival is once again offering discounted concert tickets to the region’s firefighters and emergency fire staff. Now in its second year, the initiative is designed to show appreciation for those who work tirelessly to protect Southern Oregon communities during wildfire season and beyond.
As part of this program, Britt is making Lawn tickets available for just $25 each to three upcoming summer concerts at its Jacksonville outdoor venue. Eligible fire personnel can enjoy performances by Dirtwire on July 25, DISPATCH on July 29, and the legendary pairing of Taj Mahal & Steve Earle on July 31. Each eligible firefighter can purchase up to four discounted tickets per show, allowing them to attend with family or friends.
The discounted tickets can be secured by visiting the Britt Main Office at 216 W. Main Street in Medford or by calling the Box Office directly at 541-773-6077. To receive the discount, firefighters must provide valid agency identification or other official proof of employment with a fire service or wildfire response agency.
Britt officials emphasized that the offer is not only a gesture of gratitude but also a reflection of the community’s admiration for those on the front lines of the region’s increasingly intense fire seasons.
“Our firefighters and emergency responders put their lives on the line every year to keep our communities and wildlands safe,” said a Britt spokesperson. “This is one small way we can say thank you and welcome them to enjoy a night of music and relaxation under the stars.”
The Britt Festival, now a mainstay of the Rogue Valley’s summer arts calendar, has become known for its diverse lineup of musical acts and its scenic outdoor amphitheater in the hills above Jacksonville. By continuing this firefighter ticket initiative, Britt aims to reinforce the importance of community partnerships and the cultural role that music can play in offering reprieve and recognition.
This year’s featured artists span genres and generations. Dirtwire brings an electrified mix of global instrumentation and Americana-inspired beats. DISPATCH, known for their socially conscious lyrics and folk-rock sound, remains a favorite among fans of festival-style performances. Meanwhile, blues legend Taj Mahal and country-folk icon Steve Earle offer a blend of American roots music sure to resonate with diverse audiences.
Britt encourages firefighters to take advantage of the opportunity not only to enjoy world-class performances but also to connect with the broader community in a celebration of music, resilience, and service.
For more information or to reserve tickets, fire personnel are urged to contact the Britt Box Office before show dates, as availability may be limited. The Britt Festival extends its sincere thanks to all fire personnel for their continued service and sacrifice.
