Three Years Strong — Year Four Loading

What is Waynewoodstock?

Born in 2024, Waynewoodstock is the Fort Hunt community's own backyard music festival. Two stages of live bands, local food trucks, craft artisans, cold beer, a kids zone, and the neighborhood vibes that make Waynewood special.

Three years in, we've grown from 500 to 800 to 1,000+ neighbors in the park. Year four lands on Saturday, May 22, 2027 — help us get to 1,200.
