The fourth annual Wakarusa Music and Camping festival took place in Clinton Lake State Park in Lawrence, Kansas on June 7-11, 2007. This festival,
becoming more family friendly by the year, attracted beyond twelve thousand people over the four days. Although much of the festival was familiar
to past patrons, some minor changes were made including the removal of one main stage and the relocation of many others. The most obvious change was
present in the attitude of the law enforcement. Despite the fears of many who were harassed the year before, the 2007 Wakarusa police were simply around
to maintain order in a courteous manner.

Wakarusa’s musical lineup started off strong from day one despite the disappointingly small crowds throughout the tents during Thursday’s early sets. Perhaps
the festival goers were fighting off the fierce winds that disassembled tents and E-Z ups as quickly as campers could put them together.
Papi Mali followed by
Dubconscious headed off the Revival Tent, which appeared to be several tiers longer than previous years to make up for the removal of one main stage. Just as
the wind started to die down, Toubab Krewe began their set at the Campground Stage. They attempted to entertain the chatty audience but failed to succeed until
the highly impressive and energetic percussion-only finale. Out of nowhere, the crowd came to life and showed appreciation to the obvious drumming talent. By
the time the North Mississippi Allstars took the stage at the Revival Tent in the early evening, the festival was in full swing. The band was rocking and the
crowd was clearly ready to party. This rowdy crowd was clearly ready for the late night jams of Perpetual Groove, Pnuma Trio and Kan’Nal or the electronic bliss
of EOTO and BoomBox.

Friday June 8th, 2007
Although I did not crawl out of my tent until well into the afternoon on Friday, those who made it out early were treated to a second helping of
many of the bands from the night before and a few new arrivals such as Backyard Tire Fire and Down the Road. Over at the Sun Down Stage, Railroad
Earth drew the masses into the field beyond the soundboard with their intricate bluegrass style. Although the 4:00pm Kansas sun was scorching, the
band played with a passion that inspired the crowd to dance along. Another peppy bluegrass band, Trampled by Turtles, played the Campground Stage a
few hours later. My decision to make the trek to the Campground Stage was based on a great Trampled by Turtles experience the previous year. However,
I was highly disappointed with the crowd turnout. I can only assume the lack of attendance was from the competition created by Galactic and Ozomatli at
the two bigger stages because once again, I was pleased with their sound. My day of bluegrass ended with Yonder Mountain String Band in the Revival Tent.
The Wakarusa staff did a cool job of decorating the tent with gigantic planet-like shapes hanging from the rafters. This little touch added a sense of magic
to the amazing set we were treated to by Yonder Mountain String Band.
