NEOTROPOLIS 2026 OFFICIAL EVENT

NEOTROPOLIS.
April 29th-May 3rd 2026. Edwards, CA

TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE SOMETIME IN THE SUMMER OF 2025.

This is a festival put on by Wasteland World Inc., the people behind Wasteland Weekend and the Wastelanders Ball. We have 15 years of experience in the world of immersive festivals.
Neotropolis will feature a themed environment based on an offworld desert outpost- home to various factions, traders, intergalactic corporations, and aliens. The event runs 24/7, and will feature some immersive interactive story elements as well as traditional festival elements like a full music stage with live bands, DJs, and camping, as well as some not-so-traditional ones like robot battles and laser tag combat.

It takes place on a large piece of private land in Edwards, CA in the Mojave Desert: Wasteland Valley, The same property that hosts Wasteland Weekend and other large events and film shoots. It’s only a 20 minute drive from stores and services in nearby California City, CA and yet offers a 360 degree view of nothing but desert and hills, with no modern civilization in sight to break your immersion.

Costumes are required for ALL attendees and staff, making everyone a participant rather than just a spectator. This creates an environment where all attendees are participants and no one is a spectator. How much you want to involve yourself in the world is up to you. Some people come out to party and be part of the atmosphere and some people get fully-involved in the role-play and LARP/lore aspect of the activities.

THIS EVENT IS STRICTLY 18 AND OVER.
