We were extremely blessed to have 6 phenomenal years of What The Festival here in the NW, such an incredibly ingenious and innovative event, there had been NOTHING like it before and nothing will ever come close to replicating this uniquely immersive and entertaining and intimate festival!
Tonight we celebrate a tiny, tiny sliver of that magic, as we highlight some of our favorite performers who graced the forests, fields (and splash pool!) with their talent!
WTF?!
"What The Festival (2012-2017) was a boutique experience of art, electronic and live music that was located 90 miles east of Portland, Oregon.
Originating in the minds of that dynamic duo of Glen and Tiffany Boyd along with Peter Clark, WHAT THE FESTIVAL sprang to life from the founders' (and hundreds of staff/volunteers) hard work out in Tygh Valley and the White River Canyon on the Justesen Ranch in 2012 before moving over to the Wolf Run Ranch where it was held for the past five years, growing ever deeper, year-after-year into the hearts of those who where fortunate enough to ever have experienced it and helping to revitalize the soul of our community.
What The Festival was a carefully curated weekend of interactive art, which grew to 8 stages of electronic and live music, speaker series, movement classes, a late night film festival, comedy and so much more! The premiere boutique festival experience was located on the edge of the Mount Hood National Forest, and offered both forest and field for participants to forget their day-to-day troubles, and re-connect with their inner child again, to begin new adventures and just let loose and play . . .
The festival offered a round-the-clock immersive experiences and featured music on 8 stages, experiential interactive art, a silent disco, movement classes, workshops, a hookah bar, ambient cocktail lounges, spa treatments, and more! All of this took place on the private breathtaking 250 acre Wolf Run Ranch."
