The festival returns after eight years, moving to a central park location and attracting thousands of fans, with tickets on presale starting Feb. 13.

  • Returning later this year, Eaux Claires will relaunch at Carson Park in Eau Claire, curated by Justin Vernon, after its 2018 run.
  • The festival was co-founded in 2015 by Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner, running from 2015–2018 and gaining acclaim for unique collaborations and art at Foster Farms on Eau Claire's outskirts.
  • The festival will also feature a Writers in Residence program featuring Michael Perry and Jon Mueller, bringing two dozen scribes for readings, discussions and collaborations.
  • Online presale begins at 9 a.m. Feb. 13 via eauxclaires.com, with general public tickets going on sale at 11 a.m. Feb. 13, and ticket prices remain undisclosed.
  • At a sold-out event at the 410 Bar, organizers unveiled the roster with Vernon and Asher Weisberg as 'umpires' while local acts performed; past festivals drew fans from 49 states and seven countries and generated $6.8 million annually, with Eaux Claires Days to be announced.
