We regret to announce that we will not be moving forward with Humboldt Hideaway in 2027.
There's no single reason or simple explanation for our decision not to continue the event next year. But after two months of pre-planning work, it became clear that the financial risks were too great to overcome.
We'd like to thank everyone who helped make our 2026 event at Wells City Park the best one yet, starting with the City of Wells, City Manager Jason Pengelly, Mayor Gary Po***ck, the Wells City Council and the Wells Public Works Department.
Thanks also to this year's artists and their teams; all of our wonderful volunteers; and everyone who attended Humboldt Hideaway.
Special thanks to Chip Stone of the Elko Convention and Visitors Authority Board of Governors, who worked harder than anyone to help keep our event in Elko County next year.
As for our future plans, we do hope to launch a new event at some point down the road.
This much-needed break will give us the time we need to strategize, and to find a new venue that works best for our long-term financial viability.
If and when we are ready to announce a new event, you'll be the first to read about it here.
– Rudy Herndon, Humboldt Hideaway
