The experience
What's special
Kick'n Up Kountry is a four-day country music festival held each June at Wagon Wheel Ridge in Karlstad, Minnesota, which the organizer calls the Midwest's top music festival. The 2027 edition runs Wednesday, June 16 to Saturday, June 19, with a Friday fireworks show celebrating the USA's 250th and those who have served. National and regional acts play a main stage, with a Saloon for afterparty sets. The grounds also hold a Ferris wheel, AdventureWorld rides, a casino and a dirt track for Baja racing. The organizer reports more than 15,000 people came through the gates in 2021.
How it works
Music tickets are required for everyone on site. Four-day general admission is $180, one-day general admission $160 and the four-day VIP ticket $740, which adds VIP parking and 30 drink tickets, all plus tax. Camping is reserved in advance, from standard sites to a free Renaissance tier, and campers also need a camping wristband. Shower houses and restrooms are free for campers. The grounds have multiple bars, food vendors, ATMs, shuttles, Wi-Fi and video screens.
Who it suits
It suits country fans who want a long weekend on one site, since reserved camping sits close to the music and a shower house is included. The rides, Ferris wheel and Baja racing give non-listeners something to do, and VIP seating and parking are sold for those who want more comfort. Bars, a casino and late afterparties point to an adult-leaning crowd.
