- June 12, 2007

- Festival posters

- Festival speakers promote environmental awareness
- June 9, 2007
- The Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival isn’t all about rock tunes and tents. Friday, the second day of the festival, showed it’s also about straight talk on the environment.
- That 1 Guy concocts his own pipe dream
- June 9, 2007

- If the Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival means rock concerts, camping out and environmentalism, then Michael Rouse may be the embodiment of Wakarusa’s spirit.

- June 8, 2007

- Surround sound
- Lawrence man enjoys ringside seats to Wakarusa from comfort of own backyard
- June 8, 2007

- June 7, 2007
- As rain clouds moved into the area, so did thousands of campers for this weekend's fourth annual Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival.
