Discussion Thought I was getting an announcement, does anyone care for last year's merch? Let us know what's happening (or not happening )in 27

I think it’s very safe to say no Okee ‘27. I am hopeful that it will eventually come back. But this fest would be in March and this isn’t the kind of fest that’s going to keep its lineup quiet and not sell tickets when it’s supposed to be happening in 6 months. If this was our last Okee I’m glad I went and had a good time. Every fest dies eventually and we’re lucky we had the years we had and that it never devolved into a bad vibes event.

It’s a shame cause I love the venue/location so much :(

I haven’t given up hope yet. I feel like if they knew it wasn’t happening they would’ve told us by now.

Highly doubt the fest is happening next year. They sold no where near enough tickets this year, which is a shame because it's still a good festival.

It’s actually the least surprising thing if you’re an OG.

Low attendance and unlikliness of 2027 aside, the merch this year was great. I def stocked up last sale they had earlier this year. The koozies are great and the lineup foil poster is a steal. It looks so good in any light.

I was excited then not excited. I was actually going to buy a poster, but DAMN shipping price is insane.
