Forkfest 2026: Monday June 22nd to Monday June 29th

What’s the plan for Forkfest 2026?

It’s Forkfest, which means no one’s in charge, so we can’t tell you what to do. What you read on this site is not “official” because there is nothing official with Forkfest. Some people may come earlier than the dates shown here. It’s up to you.

In 2026, Forkfest will unofficially be Monday June 22nd through Monday June 29th.>

Forkfest traditionally being a smaller event that doesn’t take up the entire campground benefits from folks locating their campsites nearby each other, so you may want to check in with the Forkfest Matrix (currently down) or Telegram chats or the Forum when you’re getting ready to reserve your. Then call Rogers Campground at 603-788-4885 to lock in your reservation!site

The consensus that was reached was to hold the event at Roger’s Camp Ground after confirming we were still welcome, but unfortunately we’re hearing that this is not possible after all due to Crosby’s wishes to return the campground to being ‘just a campground’. Meaning vending and other festival-like activities are not welcome. No camping on RV sites, no big tents, no vending, etc.

As such we’re having to re-evaluate the location this year… stay tuned for updates.

What is Forkfest?

Forkfest is the yearly camping party in the woods that began in 2017 at Rogers Campground in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire.  You’re invited to come and create whatever experience you’d like others to have.  No one is in charge and the event is decentralized so there are no tickets.  In fact, some people have different names for the event, including Somaliafest, Shirefest, and Banned Camp. It’s up-to-you what happens at Forkfest. All you need to do to attend Forkfest is to reserve your camping, RV site, or hotel room at Rogers Campground!
