The buildup to Wakarusa 2015 is officially underway.
Much of what sets elite music festivals apart from their competition is their attention to detail. This involves creating an entire experience that extends way beyond the performances themselves.
Wakarusa is doing it bigger than ever in 2015.
We’re just over 90 days until thousands make the annual pilgrimage to the top of Mulberry Mountain and the next month-and-a-half is absolutely packed with activities to keep that Wakarusa hype at an all-time high.
Can’t wait for that mystical rendezvous in The Ozarks?
Check out these 3 ways you can experience Wakarusa before it happens.
Official Wakarusa Pre-Parties
The two weeks leading up to Wakarusa are when things really kick into gear. Wakafarians all around the Midwest and South have numerous opportunities to get their Waka on with the official Wakarusa Pre-Party Tour and Waka DJ Classic.
Wick-it The Instigator, Blunt Force, and many more will be hitting up multiple cities including Austin, Kansas City, and St. Louis en route to the final destination.
Volunteer
Any music festival junkie knows the struggle of scraping together pennies to satisfy that insatiable appetite for the festival experience. If you’ve explored every avenue and are still coming up short, not all hope is lost.
Volunteers can earn a free ticket while learning what it’s like to go behind the scenes. For a minimal 15-hour commitment, volunteers will receive a full event pass, free camping, and a Wakarusa volunteer t-shirt.
Considering the event is 100+ hours, this minimal commitment is the ideal way to make it happen.
