For WEMF veterans, rest assured that we have taken the time to once again select a spot that fits the needs of this amazing event to a T! With grassy fields for camping and parking along with even more grassy fields surrounded by deep woods for the dance stages, this year's spot is the ideal location for WEMF2008.

Destiny said "The “3-Day” has become a right of passage for generations of electronic music fans and this year it both celebrates its 14th year and its final year in its PRESENT FORM."
Present Form means the festival will be renamed but will go on... Marketing.
