The 10,000 Lakes Festival is a three-day music festival in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, at the Soo Pass Ranch. The artist lineup contains a wide variety of jam bands and alternative rock groups.

Also referred to as '10KLF', the festival began in 2003 and has since become an annual event. Held on over 600 acres, the event showcases artists and bands on four stages, including the Barn Stage on a shady hill overlooking the concert bowl, the Field Stage where the audience can spread out and soak up some sun, the Saloon Stage for intimate concerts and late night jams, and the Main Stage where everyone gathers in the evening for the major headliner performances.

Festival-goers can relax in beautiful Lake Sallie Campground with over 3,000 feet of shoreline or settle into the magnificent forest of the Northwoods campground. VIP Camping is located directly behind the Main Stage. The campgrounds are well groomed with permanent roads and real showers. Every campground is within walking distance of the concert site. Modern amenities on site include clean, permanent restrooms facilities with running water. Attendance in 2006 was around 18,000.
