Wakarusa Festival was still in the develop phase when Walt Fraiser came with the specific details that have come to define the festival. The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the tour started out pretty small, featuring a lot of local artists..
After a couple of years the residents really embraced Wakarusa Festival The festival began to book acts that were known nationally and the tour started to get much press than when it began. Soon hotel rooms in the city were being booked months in advance for the dates surrounding Wakarusa Festival.
Wakarusa Festival has become one of the hottest events of the year, with tickets lasting a couple of hours after being released to the public. Where the festival once had to beg group to perform, groups now wait in anticipation to be asked to perform. Wakarusa Festival used to be concerned with getting enough acts to fill out the bill, but now is starting to worry of the event is getting too big.
This year’s festival promises to be the biggest yet with a stacked bill full of star acts and the best up and comers. The band’s tour schedule and concert information is outlined on Ticket Specialists, along with the latest Wakarusa Festival tickets and seating charts available.
