Wasteland Weekend Returns for 16th Year!

The world’s largest post-apocalyptic fully immersive festival is back for another incredible event. Taking place September 30th-October 4th, 2026 in heart of the California Mojave Desert, if Mad Max and Fallout are your thing, this is the place for you.

Visit the Tribes of Wasteland City, enter the world-famous Post-Apocalyptic Swimsuit Contest! Send a letter at the Post Office. Do some bounty hunting, or run some missions! Casinos, night clubs and bars, sometimes even a bowling alley and golf course! Come see the baddest war rigs around at the Car Show, or even ride one during the Armada. Stop by Bartertown to check out our vendors, maybe grab a meal from our food vendors. Have a score to settle? Battle it out in the Thunderdome! Every night has entertainment on the Main Stage, including live bands, DJs, dance acts, and more!

Time to cross something epic off your bucket list- come to the party at the end of the world.

No extra fees for camping, parking, or RVs! Unlimited ins-and-outs once the gates open! Outside food and drinks are welcome (we're BYOB)! 
In-theme costumes are required for everyone, and you must be 18 by the time of the event. 

Tickets are on sale, but will sell out!
