-Editors Choice Award-
Located in Kansas, a short drive from Kansas City. DFT is a high-energy music, arts & camping festival featuring 200+ artists, world-class production, five stages, art installations, smashed in a stuning venue surrounded by mature trees, ponds and a lake. Dancefest is the only major festival that allows all to camp under the trees in the magical emerald forest.
One of the best things about Dancefest is its inclusivity. It’s the fact that you can approach any stranger and potentially make a new close friend just by introducing yourself and sharing a few short words. Throughout the weekend, it is everywhere — friendships blossoming along the rails while people waited for artists they were obsessed with or people chatting while enjoying the shade. Love is all around you at DFT and lifelong memories are meant to be made here. Since 2012.
