Most people will turn their calendars to December, but here at 98.1 our calendar goes from November to 'WE-CEMBER' and that means you can win WE Fest passes from us every weekday, all month long. Here's how (and it's super-simple):

With WE Fest 2016 two months in the rear view mirror, and summer slipping through our fingers-- I thought it might be fun to take a look back at the 34th annual celebration of Minnesota & music.

WE Fest 2016 celebrated country music with some of the biggest acts in the genre. Additionally, 150,000 country fans attended the three-day festival, held in Detroit Lakes, Minn., from Aug. 4-6.

WE Fest 2016 was one for the record books! Tim McGraw, Eric Church and Kid Rock headlined the three-night festival, and a slew of supporting acts helped make it the best one yet.

During three days of loud and live country music at WE Fest 2016, nearly two dozen artists took the stage, but these were the BEST moments.

Mixing old with new, country with rock and blues and choreographed poses with impromptu fan interaction, Tim McGraw gave a master class on how to entertain country music’s largest outdoor audience at WE Fest.

Yes, WE Fest can get even bigger. On Saturday night (Aug. 6) the first headliners for 2017 WE Fest were announced to fans at Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes, Minn. Luke Bryan and the Zac Brown Band will close two of the three nights of country music's biggest camping and country music festival.

Gary Allan let his inner rockstar show during Saturday's (Aug. 6) WE Fest 2016 set. He waltzed onto the stage wearing a leather jacket, black T-shirt and ripped jeans to deliver a pretty rockin' performance.

The idea of Kid Rock headlining a country festival may have some fans scratching their heads, and they wouldn't be the only ones.

Billy Currington is an artist who has more hits that you realize. Like Rick Springfield or Richard Marx, Currington leaves you saying “And this is his song, too!” over and over again. At WE Fest, every one of those hits sounded better than on the record.

Montgomery Gentry didn't play all night long on Friday night (Aug. 5), but they packed as many songs as they could into a hit-filled 90-minute set.
