As we prepare for Wild Goose 2012–interviewing our Executive Director, announcing lineups, running ticket promotions–we don’t want to present just the thoughtfully-polished tag-lines of the Wild Goose staff or volunteers. We also want to leave space for the voices of our many attenders, who represent a wide range of people groups and share a diverse range of experiences from the festival. Our hope is that as many, many people come together to describe what the Wild Goose Festival means to... Read more

Wild Goose has been thrilled by the rush of attenders taking advantage of our recent $99 ticket sale. Because we know many people had to wait until Friday afternoon to cash their paychecks and settle in from their work weeks, we’ve opted to extend the sale to the end of the day Sunday, March 4th. It is our hope to make this four-day festival as affordable as possible, so everyone who wants to is able to attend. $99 is the... Read more

This year, we’ve added two new tools to help Wild Goose friends easily share the festival with their online networks. 1. You can add a Wild Goose badge to your Facebook or Twitter profile pic. The badge–a version of the Wild Goose logo–will appear in the top left hand corner of your pic, so that your photo is still visible. This is an easy and free way to let people know that you plan on attending the festival and to... Read more

New Highlight Video Released Over the past few months, the Wild Goose team and the staff at The Work of the People have been poring over video footage to create a highlight video from our debut year in 2011. While it’s impossible to represent all the spirit and personality of a live event on film, we think the clip below captures a small taste of what it’s like to be a part of Wild Goose. We hope you’ll take a couple minutes... Read more

This past June 1700 people from across North America and around the world converged on a farm in North Carolina for the first Wild Goose Festival. It was four days of music, making art, learning and activism at the intersection of spirituality, justice and art. A new tradition was born; coming together once a year to see one another in all our beauty and diversity, and challenge one another to follow the path of Jesus into a new world. In... Read more

While we’re aiming that the lineup of speakers and performers will be second to none, we really do believe that the vision of the festival of creating an intersection between justice, spirituality, and art, transcends who might appear publicly on a stage. We want to collapse hierarchies between public figures and audience members in order to create a truly participative, even egalitarianfestival. We have archived last year’s program on the festival website, so people can see something of what last year’s excitement looked like; but... Read more
