Wakarusa Moves to Arkansas
Mulberry Mountain :: Ozark, Arkansas
In a surprise move, due to difficulties with their original Kansas home, the 6th Annual Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival will take place on June 4-7, 2009 at Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas!
That's right! Wakarusa will take place on top of a mountain that's surrounded by streams, waterfalls, swimming holes and scenic float rivers. Mulberry Mountain is not only on private land, but it has all the amenities of a well developed campground. Quite simply, if you haven't been to Mulberry Mountain, it is one of the very best festival sites this fine land has to offer.
In honor of the Wakarusa community's loyalty and in acknowledgement of the weather you suffered through during this past year's event and the subsequent loss of music sets last year, they are making a few tickets available at the unheard of price of $79! Tickets will be available from noon tomorrow, December 11, until December
