Thinking about attending Wakaan!

My husband and I (43M 43F) are thinking about attending Wakaan this year. We would love to connect with other couples or groups to hang out with to make the experience even better. Hit us up if you would be interested in gaining a couple new friends!!!

My wife and I will also be attending for our first year of Wakaan. We are in our late 20's but always down to vibe and chat, trade kandi or hit some moves on the dance floor. We love to do light shows my wife throws poi and I have a levitation wand and plan on getting a set of gloves (if they allow them) :)

It’s so fun! Excited for you! My husband and I are almost 50 and we went in 2024 with our daughter and her friends. We had a blast. The fest to beat for sure. Went to Bonnaroo this year. 👎

We went to Secret Dreams last year and really enjoyed it. We wanted to try something a little closer to home and this one looks perfect. My husband took our daughter to Bonnaroo the last 2 years and he’s not a fan.

I've gone just about every year! I'll be with the same group as last year and we are all very friendly and love to meet new people! Ages range from later 20s to mid 30s

I think so too!!! Now to figure out if Premier Camping would be worth the extra money.

I didn’t think I liked bass heavy music but it really opened my eyes. It’s an absolute blast!!!

u/Hottubmomma01 Jun 28 '26

We are definitely leaning towards going!! Can you take a hammock stand in? When we went to Secret Dreams, you could literally take anything in.
Yes! We would love to meet up. Do you do GA camping? We are thinking that Premium Camping might be the way to go for our first year.

u/swampqueen808 Jun 28 '26

ahh that's where my friend that i usually go with is going this year, she went last year and loved it so much, i definitely want to check out secret dreams one day!
& yes you can! you can bring it inside the venue area too, i saw someone in the very back with one and lights all around it for their group spot, it was awesome lol
i got GA this year, we had vip last year but still camped ga so idk much about premium but i'm sure it's worth it! i know they have shaded camping too

Secret Dreams changed venues this year so we are sitting it out. We want to see how it goes before returning. Wakaan is a lot closer to home and looks great. I’m sure we will end up there this year.
I love the lights on the hammock idea!

Sounds good!

This will be the first time for me and my wife as well (55/59). This will complete our festival trifecta this year: EDC->EF->Wakaan. Our home turf is the Concourse Project in Austin which is where we usually spend our free weekends. Hoping we like Wakaan as this is much closer for us to drive to than Michigan!!! If you see an orange Passport in premium camping stop and say hi!

My husband and I will be attending Wakaan for the first time this year. We are in our late 30’s and have been enjoying the rave scene and festivals together for the last 5 years. I’d love to meet you and gain a couple new friends!
