Wakarusa - Festival of the Summer

Yesterday Wakarusa released their schedule and I pulled the trigger on going. I think this will be the festival of the summer. The schedule looks incredible, with music going until 7 or 8 in the morning. Wakarusa is June 3-6 in Mulberry Mountain, Arkansas.

I LOVE summer festivals when the sun goes down, and I think Wakarusa delivers. With woooomp woooommmmp music going past sunrise, there will be special experiences you can only get at at camping festival. Check out what I am stoked to see from looking at the schedule:

Combine this schedule with beautiful private land in the Ozarks, I think this is going to be an EPIC summer festival experience. We are flying into Tulsa, renting a car and will be there Thurs > Sunday afternoon. See you there!

Nice,

My crew is hitting Waka after 3yrs @ Roo. Now that we're well over 30 this seems like a much better alternative and lineup.
