Fortress Festival was an annual music festival held in the Cultural DistrictofFort Worth, Texas. The event was held the last weekend in April on the grounds of the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and was produced by Fort Worth-based company Fortress Presents in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, which also served as one of the event's venues in its first two years.

During its run, Fortress Festival sought to curate an eclectic mix of national, regional and local musical acts that reflect Fort Worth's diverse community and true artistic character.[1] This is represented in lineups that contain a variety of genres, including Indie Rock, Pop, Rap, Hip hop, R&B, Soul, Punk and others. Additionally, Fortress Festival was recognized by the press as part of a small number of festivals worldwide for lineups that include a notable number of female artists across the bill.[2]

On April 10, 2020, festival organizers announced that the event would not be held that year due to the coronavirus pandemic - while announcing that the festival was expected to be continued on April 24-25, 2021 with the majority of the artists in the 2020 lineup.[3] On January 20, 2021, organizers announced the cancellation of that year's event, with hopes to return in 2022,[4] but that plans for a revival never materialized.
