More Electrical Access and New Camping Experiences
WE Fest camping is always evolving. As camping styles have shifted since the festival’s early
years, fans have asked for more electrical access and campgrounds with more personality and
community. We’re making changes for 2027 to bring more of that to the Ranch. The NEW South
Sallie area will add electrical-access sites in the Lake Sallie campground. The Viking ship is
sailing north! In 2027, Viking campground is moving next to Oatfield and closer to the action.
VIP Camping will expand its west-side electrical-access area. Look for new food and
programming in every campground.

The four-day festival begins Wednesday, August 4, and continues through Saturday, August 7,
2027. Festival admission includes the Wednesday Kickoff.

A ticket presale begins Thursday, October 1, followed by the public on-sale Friday, October 2.
Tickets, camping, and festival information will be available at WEFest.com. Payment plans are
available starting with only $27 down.
