Welcome to Waco, y’all
Plan your trip
Waco’s a small city located deep in the heart of Texas (right in the middle between Austin and Dallas). One of the advantages of a small town - it’s so easy to get around! We’ve arranged for most activities to happen less than a mile from the festival hotel. Most everything is just a 10-15 minute walk.
Plus there’s Uber, Lyft, and scooter rentals to service Downtown Waco. Click the button below to see the fest locations.
