We know first hand the unexpected challenges that arise when throwing events for the community – but when plans change and events are effectively canceled, we know the community feels it. That’s why we are offering all Q Forest ticket holders a discount to attend Badger Music & Arts Festival!!

Let’s support community and culture, keep homie fest camp outs alive!!! 🔗⛺️💜🌲

All jokes aside, homie fests like Badger only happen if YOU make it happen. The county is about to pull the plug on us if we can’t pay these permit costs, so please, if you plan on coming get your tickets now 🥺
