2005 Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival
2005 Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival
The 2005 Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival was held June 16 through June 19. After losing money the first year, Wakarusa returned with more bands and stages.[1] The festival more than double the previous year with over 50,000 people attending and over 100 vendors.[2] The festival also improved its environmental impact by recycling over three tons with the help of volunteers.[3] While the festival proved it could be a success it was somewhat overshadowed by the death of William J. Pospisil, a 29-yearold attendee, who overdosed on methadone and cocaine.[4]
