Freak Show Day Fest: Master of All Elements

October 10–11 | 12 PM – 12 AM | Fayetteville, AR | 18+ All Day | Explicit Content After Dark

Overnight Primitive Camping Available

Step right up for an unforgettable weekend of art, music, and mystique in the heart of Northwest Arkansas! Hosted by NWA CAMP, the Freak Show Day Fest returns for its third act—Master of All Elements—bringing together the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully talented from among us.

This immersive two-day festival transforms the natural landscape at Metal Mountain into a living dreamscape filled with live music, interactive art, circus spectacles, and otherworldly attractions. With 12 hours of live performances each day and camping under the stars, this is more than a festival—it’s a gathering of creators, misfits, magic-makers, and of course- FREAKS. We welcome people from all walks of life, feature music from all genres, and seek to create a community, impact, and connection through this shared experience. At its heart, Freak Fest is a celebration of self-expression, collective creativity, and all things alternative or other and the beautiful chaos that happens when we bring these underground ideals to the mainstream. Come as you are—and leave transformed.
