| Dear PorcFest Family,Phileas Fogg bet he could circle the globe in 80 days.
We’re making your adventure a little easier than that!In exactly 80 days, something remarkable begins: PorcFest XXIII: The Next Generation.
For one week: June 21–28, 2026.
In one state: the freest.
With the chance to win $10,000, you will explore what we have been building in the Free State.
This isn’t the PorcFest you remember.
We’ve broken out of the single campground “village” and turned the whole Free State into your “globe.”
You’ll grab your $75 PASSPORT TO THE FREE STATE, then explore the world of New Hampshire: the mountains, lakes, hiking trails, rivers, seacoast, grand resorts, liberty clubhouses, farms, and the real communities we’ve built over two decades.
Get your passport stamped at participating home bases like The Quill, Rooted Free, DHomes, Wearehouse, Concord Prickle, Independence Inn, and others.
The more you explore, the better your shot at the $10,000 FREE IAN NOW Prize.
You can expect a wide variety of independently organized programming — from workshops, speakers, and meetups to family events, hikes, poker nights, a chess tourney, Soapbox Idol at the Quill, and other unique experiences at liberty venues across the state. Because it’s decentralized, the schedule will be diverse, creative, and full of surprises — who knows who might show up! — as more hosts add their events in the coming weeks.
Our good friends at Roger’s Campground remain open for traditional camping, but you get to decide what best meets your needs. Rent a private island. Book your suite at one of New Hampshire’s Grand Resorts. Gather your friends and camp together next to a lake. Rent an Airbnb for just you and the pup. Stay in the city and meet fellow PorcFesters for dinner.
This is the adventure we’ve been building toward.
You came for PorcFest in past years.
This time, you get to tour the Free State like it’s a brand-new country — because that’s exactly how to think about what we are building. (Hate nation-building in Iran? You’ll love it in New Hampshire!)
Tickets are on sale now at porcfest.com ($75 adult | kids under 18 free with a ticketed adult).
Don’t wait. The clock is ticking — just like Phileas Fogg’s famous wager… except, now, it’s exactly 80 days until the adventure begins: One unforgettable journey across the Free State.I can’t wait to see you on the road, passport in hand!
Live Free and Thrive,
Carla Gericke
President Emeritus & Chairman of the Board
