Three sunny days of open-house festival energy.
Over by Oxbow Park / July 10-12, 2026
Oxbowpalooza
A weekend of friends, camping, music, food trucks, yoga, games, and the kind of open-ended hanging out that somehow becomes the whole point.
Family and friends, big-group friendly, not kid-centric.
Camping room, games, music, movement, and slow goodbyes.
What is Oxbowpalooza?
A backyard festival world for family, friends, food, music, and being gloriously off-schedule.
Food Trucks
Coffee in the morning, trucks through the day, and enough buffet energy to keep 150 people moving.
Camping
Open acres, RV room for a few, tents welcome, and a short walk back to the fun.
Jam Time
Music, drum circle moments, casual hangs, and whatever songs survive the weekend.
Move Around
Yoga, outdoor games, movement, and open time for doing exactly as much as you feel like doing.
