One of New York’s most highly anticipated tours of the fall is Wanee Festival. The festival was started in 1985 after the city’s residents decide they wanted a huge celebration in the ample city parks. Ralph Parquette was hit by inspiration while listening to his favorite music and finished all the details for Wanee Festival in one night. Without much funding the festival started out small, using a lot of the city's performers..

It took a few years, but eventually word spread and Wanee Festival began to establish itself as a premier event The festival began to get some more established acts to perform, but still included the smaller that had been with the tour since the beginning. Soon hotel rooms in the city were being booked months in advance for the dates surrounding Wanee Festival.
Now one of the hottest events of the year, Wanee Festival tickets will not last more than a couple of hours after being released to the public. The festival is now so big that just about any group will say yes if asked to perform. The organizers of the tour have not forgotten where they’ve come from though, and always ask local artists to play the smaller stages. Wanee 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.
The festival is once again the biggest of its kind this year. More bands than ever will be there with huge names and great up and coming groups.
Wanee Festival’s tickets and latest concert information are available on Ticket Specialists, along with the complete tour schedule for the band.
