Q: When is Lakes of Fire in 2018?

A: We will not have a confirmed date until we sign our contract with the landowner, and the minute we are able to we will announce it far and wide, including here on the web site, on FB, and on the mailing list.

We generally target Father’s Day weekend each year, due to a number of concerns both before and after that time period.  It would be wise to reserve that weekend and the one beforehand, as Electric Forest traditionally happens just after that, but we can make no promises at this time. Check back around December!
