6th ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL

WHAT’S ALL THE RUCKUS ABOUT?


2019 was the first annual of Ruckus In The Woods. It began as a dream and became an incredible reality. With local support, Ruckus In The Woods became the largest music event ever in Barnes, Wisconsin. With boating, fishing, atv trails and hunting the primary things-to-do, the event became the talk of the town(s), which led to its growth.

Ruckus is coming back to town bigger, stronger and ready for round 6. As the incredible support continues to grow, so will Ruckus In The Woods. We can’t wait for you to Join Us In The Woods again in August.
