Dancefestopia is an independent electronic music and camping festival held each September in La Cygne, Kansas, south of Kansas City. It runs seven days and nights with 250+ artists, five stages, forest camping and activities. Dancefestopia 2027 is September 6–12 and marks the festival's 15th year.
Dancefestopia takes place at Wildwood Outdoor Education Center, 7095 W. 399th Street, La Cygne, KS 66040. It's about an hour south of Kansas City and about 1 hour 15 minutes from Kansas City International Airport (MCI).
Dancefestopia features electronic dance music, with a focus on bass music and dubstep. There are 250+ artists across five stages over seven days.
Between sets you can try the high ropes course and zipline, go canoeing or fishing, swim at the pool, and explore art installations and photo spots around the grounds. The Unlimited Activities Pass covers activities all week.
The whole venue turns into an art installation along the Yellow Brick Road, with giant sculptures, light displays, illuminated areas, photo ops and hidden installations to discover.
Dancefestopia has five stages: the Emerald Stage, Lollipop Stage, Rekinection Stage, Forest Stage and Pool Stage.
