Festivals Near Midland, TX. The Crude Fest Stage area is a large open field with a gigantic stage with a large jumbo tron which broadcasts the action from when the music starts to when it ends.
Around the fans start to migrate toward the stage for another day of great music and lots of fun. The front of the stage is always packed and standing room only and if you're up front you're likely to get sprayed by water bottles or beer. But that doesn't seem to bother the fans who are having a blast enjoying the music. The farther you go back from the front of the stage, the older and calmer it gets and it's back here that you'll find lawn chairs, canopies, blankets, games washers, ping pong ball toss, etc.
The fans ranged from teenagers to college age to young working folks to some of the older generation - and everyone was friendly and outgoing and here to listen to the music and have fun. Some fans were drinking whiskey, most consuming beer or sipping bladders of wine or bottles of something alcohol, jello shots were common, and there were quite a few beer bongs, but very few fans were way out of control. Some fans were napping, others playing games like beer pong or washers a few dancing, several were on shoulders to see the stage, a few were spraying water from squirt guns, and most paying attention to the music.
Some fans were under canopies, others under umbrellas, a lot on coolers, and most just sitting or standing in sun. Around the the perimeter of the stage area are vendors selling a variety of merchandise artist CDs and tee shirts, hats, and more and food vendors with hot dogs, burgers, pizza, sausage wraps, fajitas, BBQ, kettle corn, fries, and lots more. We loved the Cajun chicken on a stick and we had 3 jalapeno sausage wraps with grilled onions!
Unfortunately, I found out about all this just a little too late - I would have loved to be a judge for the ribs, margaritas, and Bloody Marys!!! I thought all of those big fancy BBQ grills were in the campground to cook up some grub for fellow campers. From our perspective the best way to enjoy Crude Fest is with VIP tickets which can include a campsite closer to the stage, backstage access, a VIP area with a large tent with tables and chairs, free food, and a bar serving free beer, whiskey, and vodka.
The VIP catering was by Barndoor Steakhouse and it was very good - one afternoon it was fajitas and all the fixin's and Saturday was beef in gravy, chicken and rice, mashed potatoes, and beans - and both days they served delicious chocolate cake! After all these years of attending music festivals, it's great that we can still have some first time experiences.
Some that we experienced at Crude Fest included:. Our thanks go out to Cody Baker and his parents, the volunteers and working staff, and the security staff for making this a fun festival. See you next year.
