WHAT IS WULAPALOOZA?

Wulapalooza is an annual earth, art and music festival that takes place on the campus of Willamette University. Local schools, performance groups, and professional bands perform for over a thousand students and community members annually with local businesses and student groups fundraising for various charitable organizations. We are an Earth Day and community festival that yearly brings in thousands of community members and students. This year's iteration of the festival will look a little different, and we won't be hosting the 21st annual Wulapalooza festival, but rather a 21st anniversary celebration called Futurepalooza that will feature student bands and local professional groups with a focus on community and future growth. This year our event will take place on April 20th, 2019!

HOW DO I GET IN?

Willamette students will be allowed to bring as many guests as they like, so long as they have a valid government-issued ID, and enter the festival WITH their WU-affiliated host. 

Unaccompanied non-WU community members will be charged $5 admission, and WU-accompanied guests will be charged $3. 

Students - you must bring your Willamette issued ID to the entrance to get into the event, or bring guests! 

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?

This year we will not be requiring students to place all of their belongings in plastic bags, but we will continue to place a size restriction on all bags, backpacks, and purses. All bags should be approximately 9x12 inches (just over the size of a piece of paper). All bags may be subject to search. We will be allowing water bottles that are empty before entrance.  

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

This year, the event and related activities will be hosted almost entirely in the UC. In the past rain has only mildly affected the running of the festival, the show goes on rain or shine, so bring an umbrella! 

HOW IT WORKS:

Daytime (12:00pm-5:00pm)

The first half of the festival focuses on activities, booths and student creations. These include student organizations, clubs, community groups and student musical acts of various genres. During the day there are many non-Wulapalooza sponsored activities and booths provided by various student groups that will be located in and around the UC. 

Evening (5:00pm-8:00pm)

The evening portion of the festival is focused on the later performances in Cat Cavern, and will be wrapped up with a closing performance by WU's Poi Club!
