Wasteland Weekend 2026

Wasteland Weekend is the world's largest fully immersive post-apocalyptic event. A multi-day festival inspired by the world of "Mad Max," expect to see badass builds of cars and motorcycles, nightly bands and entertainment, vendors (including food!), a fully-themed thriving city of Tribes, nomads and camps from all over the planet, a swim suit contest, car show, nightclubs and bars, bounty hunting missions, and the Death Guild Thunderome where you can battle it out with your friends (or enemies, we don't judge). Biggest rule is EVERYONE has to be in an appropriately themed costume. We have lots of tips, tricks, and resources to help you put together a great outfit that will fit right in, so don't feel too intimidated or anything. This immersive can be as light or involved as you like (as long as you're dressed in-theme). You can just hang out with your friends or you can dive fully in, taking part in missions and storylines created by the Wasteland community. Come celebrate 16 years of the ultimate party at the end of the world September 30th-October 4th 2026 at our home in the California Mojave Desert.
