Wasteland Weekend’s theme draws heavily from apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction, especially the Mad Max franchise and is held annually in California City, California. It is a full immersion event, so all the participants are required to wear appropriately themed clothing. Take a look at the pictures, they speak for themselves.
Wasteland Weekend is an annual Mad Max themed festival, held during four days in the Mojave dessert, California. Even though it is not a cosplay or LARP event, everyone is asked to come fully equipped in both post-apocalyptic gear and attitude...
