The 3-Day Experience
The 12th Annual World Electronic Music Festival or simply the “3-Day†as it’s become known over the years, is the 2006 installment of the largest and longest running event of its kind in Canada. With a rich variety of music, artists, performers and music lovers from around the world, it is an experience that is unique and enduring for all those who have made it part of their lives.
It is the 3-Day Experience that we invite you to enjoy once more and potentially one last time. After searching across the province the WEMF collective has chosen a site that will allow it to create an event that is true to the roots of where WEMF came from and what it has become. A remote, forested campground, located on a crystal clear lakefront will bring all the music back outside where it belongs. Camping, dancing, enjoying the company of friends and everything else that the 3-Day Experience allows can only be enhanced by the presence of the sun and the stars!
With this return to nature, we are also transforming the 3-Day Experience to a themed environment that will create a completely new level of connection and interaction with the music, the land and each other. In 2006 all stages will be themed. Travel through the experience by Air, Sea, Land and Space. Travel into your Mind and through Time into the future. We invite those new and old to join us for a completely fresh but quite likely final, 3-Day Experience!
