Whippersnap Music & Arts Festival 2026 — Festival Preview & Line Up

Описание: In this episode, I’m back after a couple weeks away with a big life update and an inside look at Whippersnap 2026!

I’m recording all the way from my new home base at Berkshire Lake Campground in Ohio and sharing some personal changes, while also announcing exciting plans for more live streams and festival content coming your way. Then, I welcome Shane LaVigne and Dylan Conway, the masterminds behind Whippersnap, to preview what’s in store for the upcoming season at Florida Sand Music Ranch. We dive into how they bring this nonprofit venue to life with top-tier lighting, diverse activities for families, creative art installations, and a music lineup that’s truly next level.

Shane and Dylan talk through the unique vibe of Whippersnap, the challenges and fun of moving the festival from Illinois to Florida, and how they’re creating a festival experience that’s as much about the culture and community as it is the music. We discuss the incredible production value, their approach to camping options (including VIP RV setups), accessibility for families, and the importance of making everyone feel at home. If you want to get the inside scoop on one of Florida’s best music and arts festivals, plus a little peek behind the scenes at how it all comes together, you won’t want to miss this episode!

You're going to get something out of this episode, I promise. 🫠
