Wakaan Music Festival

October 1–3 at Mulberry Mountain near Ozark, Arkansas. The pre-party is September 30; departure is October 4. Those extra planning days do not mean every pass includes early entry.

General three-day arrivals start at 1 AM on October 1. September 30 entry starts at 8 AM with early arrival: each person needs the early-arrival add-on and a three-day festival pass. Gold VIP includes early entry.

Plan to be off the property by 3 PM on Sunday, October 4. The organizer asks everyone to pack out their belongings and clean their campsite.

The FAQ describes music from early afternoon until just past sunrise, ending around sunrise on October 4. Those are approximate descriptions, not verified gate or set times. Check the official schedule for exact plans.

Wakaan is 18+. Bring valid identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.

GA and VIP festival passes include general camping beside your vehicle. A car pass is required if you bring a car; camping upgrades and RV passes are separate products.

No. Shaded Primitive is a tent-only wooded upgrade: park nearby and carry your gear in. You need a three-day festival pass plus the shaded upgrade per person. Sites are first come, first served.

It covers the RV parking add-on, with no power or water hookups and no extra vehicle beside the RV. Everyone staying in it still needs a separate three-day GA or VIP festival pass. Box trucks are prohibited.

The camping FAQ says an RV must stay parked until the festival ends. For neighboring sites, arrive and drive in together; sites cannot be saved, and row boundaries can still separate vehicles.

The add-on provides a furnished yurt-style tent; bed configuration determines its two-to-four-person capacity. Festival admission is separate for every guest. Park nearby and carry gear to the tent. The glamping section lists 15-amp outlets for small electronics.

Primitive and shaded camping have no hookups. The upgraded RV/Tent section lists one 30-amp outlet per site; glamping separately lists 15-amp outlets. Confirm your exact purchased camping product before planning around power.

The camping FAQ lists refill stations in camping and the main-stage area. Take an empty refillable bottle or hydration pack through main-stage entry; outside drinks and water cannot go through that entrance.

The FAQ lists a shower trailer at $10 per use, free for Silver and Gold VIP, with hours of 8 AM–10 PM. Permanent bathrooms in upgraded RV/Tent camping need that upgrade; a primitive pass or VIP ticket alone does not grant access there.

Vehicle re-entry is listed as 9 AM–4 PM, with a $40 charge per car and another search. Return before the window closes or you cannot drive back in until 9 AM the next morning. RVs have a separate stay-parked rule.

The camping FAQ allows small propane grills with tanks of 1 lb or less unless a burn ban is in place. Charcoal grills and campfires are prohibited. This is a camping rule: grills cannot enter the main-stage area. Check official updates for burn restrictions before using one.

One single-person inflatable lounger, inflatable chair or folding lawn chair per person is listed as allowed. Multi-person couches, mattresses, tents, pool inflatables and large umbrellas or sun shades are not allowed there.

It must collapse and measure no more than 35 inches high, wide and deep. Larger or non-collapsible wagons cannot enter the main-stage area.

Glass is prohibited in the campgrounds and festival, including the main-stage area. Use permitted non-glass containers and follow the separate entry rules for their contents.

The FAQ permits totems and flow toys, but flags and totems cannot have metal pieces. Fire performance props and their accessories are prohibited.

Small cameras without removable lenses and GoPros are listed as allowed. The general rules require explicit permission and credentials for professional equipment, while the main-stage list prohibits professional cameras. Ask about any credentialed access instead of assuming an exception. Drones and audio recording equipment are prohibited.

The FAQ lists prescription medication bearing your legal name. Its prohibited list includes unsealed over-the-counter medication, unsealed eye drops and opened vitamin bottles. Ask the organizer about any accommodation or medication question these rules do not answer.

Yes. The FAQ lists small essentials such as sunscreen, bug spray and sunglasses. It specifically says the store does not sell tents, canopies or other large gear, so bring your main camping setup.

The organizer warns that service can be patchy and slow or unusable with the crowd. Save the information you need before arrival; a carrier signal is not a guarantee you can use data.

The FAQ places the main medical area near the powered RV spots in the southeast of the property and a second tent to the left of the main stage when facing it from the crowd. It lists the main area as operating around the clock and the stage tent while that area is open. Follow current on-site signs and staff directions.

Ask at Guest Services beside the main event entrance. The FAQ lists Wednesday–Saturday hours of 10 AM–2 AM and Sunday hours of 10 AM–2 PM.

The ticket FAQ says to exchange your print-at-home PDF ticket at the gate. Keep the wristband securely on your wrist throughout the festival; do not remove, stretch or tamper with it. For a missing ticket, the organizer lists festivalinfo@wakaan.com.
