Time to sling some mud!

By Paige Gurgainers

Mudstock 2026 will bring four days of mud riding, live music and outdoor adventure to Webster Parish over Labor Day weekend.

The event is scheduled for Sept. 4–7 at Muddy Bottoms ATV and Recreation Park, located at 100 Muddy Bottoms Drive in Sarepta. It will be the park’s final scheduled event of the year, giving off-road enthusiasts one last opportunity to visit Muddy Bottoms before its event calendar resumes in 2027.

Mudstock is described as a high-energy mud-riding and music festival featuring rugged trails, food, entertainment and a lively Louisiana atmosphere. Riders and spectators from throughout the region are expected to gather for a weekend centered around off-road recreation and camaraderie.

Muddy Bottoms was created to offer residents and visitors a recreational escape close to home. The park encompasses approximately 5,000 acres and features trails, bogs and tracks designed to accommodate riders of different ages and experience levels.

Beyond the trails, the recreation park offers a welcome center, bathhouse, pro shop, dining pavilion, amphitheater and sprinkler park. Overnight accommodations include five cabins and numerous RV and trailer hookups, allowing visitors to stay on the property throughout the four-day event.

Mudstock is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 4, and conclude at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7.
