WoodFest
WoodFest is a music, art and prairie weekend sponsored by Symphony in the Flint Hills and Camp Wood YMCA. Join us for a day of fun, education and harmony at Camp Wood YMCA near Cottonwood Falls.
WoodFest is an event for ALL people of ALL ages.
During the day, nationally known musicians, artists and nature lovers share all that WoodFest has to offer — a perfect day in the Flint Hills. Grab an instrument, a paintbrush and a breath of fresh air. The day ends with a Flint Hills sunset and a magical concert featuring Eugene Friesen, Max O’Rourke and Jason Anick. Sunday morning, Eugene Friesen performs on the prairie stage at 10 a.m. for those that wish to extend the weekend.
