Watershed Two-Zero-One-Seven

Break out your America gear and your Budweiser – the Watershed music festival is one for the books!

A country music lovers dream, “Shedders” flock to the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington for a weekend of camping, boozing, music, friends, and fun! RV’s by the thousands roll into the campgrounds as early as Wednesday to set up shop – some of the most innovative camping we’ve seen. Slip ‘n’ slides, kiddie pools, tents, oversized camping chairs with 6 cup holders, super soakers, mannequins dressed up in their best plaid shirts mounted to the roof of an RV, karaoke machines, disco lights, and all the drinking games you can learn or handle!

The music ain’t half bad either. Big names like Chris Stapleton, Darius Rucker, and Luke Bryan headlined this year’s festival. Quality entertainment for sure. Don’t forget the after party in the Next from Nashville tent with one of the best party DJ’s around! Or the after after party in the campground. 

If you’re one of the lucky ones (like us), you can watch the whole festival from the Budweiser VIP party deck, meet some of your favorite country stars, play games, eat free cheeseburgers, and cool off with the mister fans – but you have to get picked by the Budweiser crew to join that party. Best bet to get VIP is by having more fun than your neighbors in the campground AND recycling, but we can’t give away all the secrets.

We met some of the most amazing people, namely a group of about 30 Canadians who “shed” every year. They really did it up right. Can’t wait to go back again next year to hang!

Enjoy the Ride,

Justin and Lindsay
