Wheatland Music Festival
7251 50th Ave., Remus
September 7-9
Going back to 1974, Wheatland has been a mainstay for festival goers who are looking for a lowkey weekend of folk, roots, and bluegrass music. Wheatland is a very family-friendly atmosphere so perhaps consider leaving some of your drugs at home.
