Style: Walk the Waka

OZARK — Wakarusa has a reputation as a longtime jam-band festival that increasingly caters to the blissed-out, hula-hooping hippie's alter ego, the electronically fueled, dance-all-night party kid, Cheree Franco writes in Tuesday's Style section.

But the biggest camping and music festival in the state is more nuanced than this, and some of the best sets offer no trace of that progressive rock/jazz fusion that typically constitutes “jam.”

Regardless, there’s something about the mist, the mud, the c’est la vie attitude, the booths lining the midway, the fire dancers, the swarming people and the twinkly-lighted path to the forested Backwoods stage that is comfortingly surreal.
