Something Wicked This Way Comes: When Three Becomes One

Something wicked this way comes, and it’s not your usual Halloween weekend. Wicked Oaks Festival is set to bring the Texas rave scene something truly rare — a fusion of Freaky Deaky, Summoning Fest, and ILLfest into one enchanted, two-day experience at Carson Creek Ranch in Austin. The first of its kind, this festival is uniting three different energies into a single celebration under the oaks.
For years, each of these events stood on its own. Freaky Deaky was known for its Halloween theatrics and melodic anthems, Summoning Fest brought in the dark, heavy bass, and ILLfest gave Austin a dose of color and art-forward culture. Now, under the creative vision of Disco Presents, all three collide into one beautiful chaos.
Each realm has its own identity, but what makes Wicked Oaks stand out is the shared heartbeat pulsing through every corner. Whether you crave haunting basslines or vibrant visuals, you’ll find your rhythm here.
Wicked Oaks feels like a movement, not just an event. It’s redefining how Texas festivals connect people across genres and subcultures. The festival’s location, Carson Creek Ranch, is a perfect backdrop, with its riverside views, oak trees, and proximity to downtown Austin. It’s a place where ravers can dance, create, and connect without barriers.
If you’ve ever wanted to say “I was there for the first one,” this is your chance. Experience something that will become part of Texas rave HISTORY. Tickets are available now at wickedoaksfest.com. Grab your friends, pack your costumes, and prepare to dance beneath the oaks.
