Smilefest Reunion 2011 Artist Announcement!

 

With so much great music that has come thru Smilefest over the years, we have a lot to live up to for sure.  We have worked extra hard to plan a special musical experience for the 2011 Smilefest Reunion. We are proud to announce following Artist Line-up:

 

To be completely honest, we're silly with excitement!  The anticipation has never been so high!  Coming out of our record breaking sell out of last year, we began building and planning the most fantastic Wakarusa to date.  We'll have many improvements and surprises for you in the next few months, but for now, we'd like to share with you the many wonderful artists you'll be enjoying this June.
 
So, without further ado, we're
thrilled to announce the 2011 lineup!

As a reminder, both admission tickets and camping passes must be purchased separately for all non-VIP options (all VIP tickets include camping).  Each person entering the festival must have an Event Pass (Full Event, Weekender or Saturday), and each vehicle must have a Camping Pass.  We've modified our Camping Passes for the 2011 event, and we're introducing an Early Arrival option for our Main Venue Camping.  Full details and a camping map are available online.
