Hello everyone!
After a long winter, festival season has returned! We have a full line up of events for 2023. Check out the current line up at Events at Wisteria. We will be updating our site as more information becomes available.
Also, our online open camping reservation system is not to be used to register for events. This system is available to book camping outside of events and may have dates blackout before and after some events.

Thank you so much for your patience and we hope you’re having a wonderful year so far!
Come experience nature anytime you’d like! Open camping ends on November 5th, 2023.
Wisteria is home to many unique festivals and events. Come experience festivities that are unlike any other. No year is the same as we offer different events for the season. Look into what things are happening and see if you would like to be a part of the magic happening this year. You can also reach out to us to book your own event. Let us grow and learn together. No event is the same, take a look at what’s happening now!
Wisteria is a safe and loving place with a generous and kind community. It offers a land where people can be free and accepted for who they are. Find like-minded people and explore what Wisteria is and what it can be to you.
People escape to the beautiful rolling hills and open air of Wisteria to get away and get in touch with nature and self. Come experience an event or just come to get away and camp for a little. The more you come the more you feel like you are finally coming home.
