The town only has a population of about 30, but it swells into the thousand-person mark during the festival. The festival proceeds are invested into the town for things such as road maintenance.

The town's on the Missouri River. Some festival attendees float or motor boat to the event.

I suspect Lupus is similar to Columbus, New Mexico, in that the residents like being out of the way and they value the idea of live and let live.

One of the cool things about the town and its presentation of the music festival is the lack of pretense, and furthermore, there isn't even an attitude about the lack of pretense. It's just, we hope you enjoy yourselves, cuz we are, and we're glad you're here.

Throughout the year, the Lupus General Store is the living-roomy venue for performances by regional or national musicians, heavy on the original songwriting.

Even in late October, the Lupus gardens flashed with profuse color, high and low.
