for intimate concerts and late night jams, and the Main Stage where everyone
gathers in the evening for the major concerts featuring Widespread Panic and
Trey Anastasio.
Multi-Day Tickets starting at $75 and VIP Packages are available
now through the festival website.
The event ticket price includes all band performances and camping under the
stars adjacent to the most beautiful outdoor concert venue in the nation. The
10,000 Lakes Festival held at the 600-acre Soo Pass Ranch in beautiful Northern
Minnesota contains numerous campgrounds, built specifically for people to enjoy
their camping experience in a spacious, friendly and comfortable setting.
Festival-goers can relax in beautiful Lake Sallie Campground with over 3,000
feet of shoreline or settle into the magnificent forest of the Northwoods campground.
VIP Camping is located directly behind the Main Stage. The campgrounds are well
groomed with permanent roads and real showers and are suitable for virtually
any kind of camping vehicle. Every campground is within easy walking distance
of the concert site.
Modern amenities on site include clean, permanent restrooms facilities with
running water; additionally, internet access and a wide variety of high quality
food and beverages will be available.
Continuing the festival’s commitment to community, the 10,000 Lakes Festival
is partnering with Conscious
Alliance, a non-profit group which organizes food drives nationally at concerts
and music festivals to benefit impoverished Indian Reservations across the greater
western United States. Festival patrons are encouraged to contribute non-perishable
food items at the event. Those who donate 10 or more canned goods will receive
a free, limited-edition 10,000 Lakes Festival poster. Collection bins will be
located just outside the festival field entrance.
In addition to the canned food drive, the 10,000 Lakes Festival will contribute
a portion of each ticket sold to benefit the Rex
Foundation, a non-profit, charitable organization established in 1983 by
friends and members of the Grateful Dead. The Rex Foundation proactively provides
extensive community support to creative endeavors in the arts, sciences, and
education and has furnished over $7 million in grants to hundreds of organizations
since 1984.
