Free State Project President Emeritus and board chair, Carla Gericke lays out a new vision for PorcFest, describing it as the next evolution of the event and a chance to show just how much the liberty community in New Hampshire has grown. The 23rd annual PorcFest will spread across the state through a decentralized network of events, venues, and community spaces that reflect the real-world ecosystem Free Staters have built. It’s more than just a festival shift — it’s a way for newcomers to experience liberty in action, meet the people building it, and see where they might fit within the Free State movement. With a passport-style challenge, major cash prizes, and a big shared gathering at Rogers Campground, the plan keeps the spirit of PorcFest alive while opening the door to something much bigger. Carla’s message is ultimately a rallying cry: this is a chance not just to celebrate the movement, but to expand it and invite the next wave of pioneers in.
Get your tickets to the new and improved and vastly scalable PorcFest NOW.
Just like in 2020 — when I made sure PorcFest was the only major libertarian event on the planet that actually happened during lockdown — we’re doing it again.
This time we’re breaking the mold completely.
PorcFest: The Next Generation isn’t stuck at one campground anymore. It’s now a full-state “Passport to the Free State” adventure running June 21–28, 2026, across all of New Hampshire.
You pick where you stay. You pick what excites you. You explore mountains, lakes, seacoast, clubhouses, farms, and real liberty communities — getting your passport stamped along the way for a shot at the $10,000 FREE IAN NOW Prize.
It’s decentralized. It’s scalable. It’s revolutionary.
