2026 WE Fest Campsite Decor Contest Theme: America’s Birthday Party! 🇺🇸🎉

Get ready to celebrate at the biggest birthday bash of the summer! For 2026, WE Fest campers are invited to transform their campsites into America’s Birthday Party — a red, white, and blue celebration packed with creativity and fun. Think giant birthday cakes, patriotic party decorations, balloons, streamers, and over-the-top party vibes that would make Uncle Sam proud. This year’s contest is sponsored by Alpha News.
