If you’re into sweet music and outdoor-related activities, then Wakarusa at
Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas is the place to be from June 3 to June 6
this year. From its birth in 2004, the four-day music festival took place in
Clinton State Park, Kansas through 2008, before the change in venue. Wakarusa
features an eclectic mix of artists, including jam bands, alternative rock, hip-
hop, americana, country, bluegrass, funk and electronica. Full event passes start
at $129, a much lower price than festivals like Bonnaroo. Wakarusa’s relative
anonymity allows for a relaxed vibe and a less manic atmosphere than your
typical music festival. All parking, travel and camping information can be found
on www.wakarusa.com .

The 2010 lineup features a variety of your favorite artists (and many, many
more!), including John Butler Trio, Slightly Stoopid, Bassnectar, State Radio,
STS9, The Disco Biscuits, Rebelution, The Black Keys, The Bridge, and The
Machine performing Pink Floyd. There are more artists to come, but the initial
lineup is certainly reason enough to draw in loyal fans from all over the country.

Wakarusa offers several activities alfresco, such as:
A Friday night costume contest, morning yoga, disc golf, hiking in Ozark
National Forest , fishing in the mini-lakes of Mulberry Forest, and float trips
and kayaking. Not only is Wakarusa super duper exciting, it’s eco-friendly as
well, all thanks to the Recyclusa team providing ample sustainability at the
festival. Go and enjoy it while it remains uncharted by the mainstream!
