Wide Awake Arts & Music Festival

Wide Awake Arts & Music Festival arrives October 16–18, 2026, in Boerne, Texas this year. It brings two all-night sessions of music, art, and community built around one promise: dancing till sunrise. Doors open at 5 PM Friday and Saturday, and the music runs until 9 AM the next morning. The festival is 18+.
