Join us for another year at the Prairie Pothole Music Festival. If you are new to camping music festivals check out this festival camping checklist for great ideas on what to bring. We always ask that you avoid glass containers of any sort, bring plenty of water, and please recycle and dispose of any waste of course!
The Prairie Pothole includes music (of course), vendors, swimming, visual art, and camping.
Aurora Knolls is located 6 miles North of Anamoose, ND.
