Wasteland Weekend is an annual four-day festival held on the edge of the Mojave Desert[4] near Edwards, California.

It is listed as a full immersion event, with all participants required to adhere to the set theme inspired by post-apocalyptic media such as Mad Max, Fallout and Wasteland.

The festival includes themed costumes, campsites and vehicles, live bands and DJs,[5] fire, burlesque and other performers, and Jugger matches.

The event featured exhibitions of movie replica cars and bikes, a gyrocopter flyover, vendors, fire dancers, and contests.
