Wild Hare Music Festival

Thanks for the mention Trigger!!!

Who’s going to Jackalope Jamboree this summer???? We’ve got our tickets and can’t wait to support our friends in Pendleton!

Major independent country mega festival FairWell Fest in Redmond, Oregon will not be returning in 2026. There's also good indication that it will not be returning at all after first being held in 2023.

An informative Saving Country Music article about the festival market dynamics in Oregon.

The rise of independent country has been so massive, there are now megafestivals built around independent acts. This has attracted Live Nation, putting more established festivals in peril.

While the future of this festival is unclear at best, Wild Hare Music Festival was recognized this weekend as 2022 MUSIC FESTIVAL OF THE YEAR at the Oregon Festival and Events Association annual conference.

Obviously this doesn't happen in a vacuum. Credit due not only to Joan Monen (whose vision brought this festival to be), co-owner Jason Fellman, True West, and the rest of the WHMF team, but also to YOU, the music fans who supported us. Thanks for buying tickets and thanks for talking about what an amazing experience it was. Word has traveled. Fingers crossed we get to do it again someday.

Cheers!

Another reason why it's a good idea to stick around for the free Afterparty!

Sometimes it's Motel 6 and Denny's at 3am
