Whippersnap is a multi-day music and arts festival held Feb 19-22, 2025 at Florida Sand Music Ranch in Brooksville, FL. 

The beautiful 85 acre, 2,500 capacity park located 45 minutes North of Tampa, is loaded with southern live oak trees and provides shaded primitive camping, over 200 electric and water RV sites, shower houses and restrooms. 

The festival is stacked with Florida talent along with a lineup of international and national touring acts providing music from the Funk, Jam, Live Electronic, Bluegrass and Americana genres. 

The production team led by Alex "Herm" Schneider of Herm Productions (Lighting Director for the Disco Biscuits) along with Laser Fox Productions & Audio One Sarasota is bringing a package of sound, lighting, lasers & LED projection mapping that rivals that of large scale festivals. Tent campers in the woods will also enjoy an electric forest area provided by the good folks from Planet Zuton. 

With music on 2 stages, a 5 minute gap between sets and a 2 minute walk between stages, the hardcore festival goer will not miss a single note. 

The event is family friendly with scheduled activities to help entertain the kids and a playground located by the main stage. Morning wellness classes are available each day to help start the day off right. 

This is a BYOB event. Our team of carefully selected vendors offer items to satisfy all tastes. Beer and wine are sold by both stages and coolers are also welcome in these areas.
