There is a difference between a festival held on a ranch and a festival held at a fairground that happens to have livestock nearby. RanchFire Festival is the first kind. On December 5 and 6, Two Worlds Ranch in Leesburg turns its working property over to two days of country and Southern rock, and the setting is not decoration. The oak trees, the open pasture, the campgrounds and the livestock were already there.
We are covering RanchFire on site, and we wanted to put the full picture in one place before tickets and camping tighten up, because several details about this event are easy to get wrong until you are standing at the gate.
What RanchFire Actually Is
RanchFire runs Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6, 2026 at Two Worlds Ranch, 40940 Whilden Lane, Leesburg, Florida. Gates open around 12:00 PM both days and Sunday wraps up around 9:00 PM. The whole event takes place on private ranch property in Lake County.
The organizers describe it as country music and Southern rock built around ranch life rather than a concert dropped into a parking lot, and the programming backs that up: food vendors, western merchandise, hat shaping and hot-iron hat branding, tent and RV camping, and a marketplace they have deliberately kept small so participating businesses have room to actually do business. The tagline is Light the Fire. Live the Legacy.
This Is a 21 and Over Event
RanchFire is strictly 21 and over, with no exceptions. Every attendee must present a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in, and nobody under 21 is admitted, including children and infants.
Who Is Playing

Sunday, December 6:
- Shane Pons

DJ Kenny Kash is the official RanchFire MC across the weekend. Artist schedules and performance times are subject to change, which at this stage of a first-year festival is normal rather than a warning sign.
This is a regional bill rather than a national one, and that is the point. These are Florida and Southeast artists at the stage of their careers where you can still stand close to the stage and, in a lot of cases, talk to them at the merch table afterward. That access disappears permanently once an artist crosses a certain line, and it is the best argument for buying a ticket to something like this while it is still in its first year.
Tickets
Tickets are sold online through TicketLeap. Pre-sale pricing was advertised as ending August 31, 2026, so expect the regular figure and confirm the current price at checkout:
- Saturday general admission: $45 pre-sale, $55 regular
- Sunday general admission: $30 pre-sale, $40 regular
- Weekend general admission pass: $65 pre-sale, $85 regular
- Founders and VIP package: $250 pre-sale, $300 regular
- Tent camping add-on: $40 pre-sale, $50 regular
- RV camping add-on: $125 pre-sale, $150 regular
- Parking add-on: $10 pre-sale, $15 regular
Parking and camping passes are not admission. Every person entering the festival needs their own admission ticket in addition to whatever parking or camping pass their vehicle or campsite requires. If four people share an RV site, that is one RV pass and four admission tickets.
The Founders and VIP package covers the full weekend and includes the VIP tent, private restrooms, band soundchecks where artists allow it, early access to the event, and free parking. Camping is still separate.

Camping, Parking and Getting There
RanchFire is on private ranch property, so if you arrive by vehicle you need a parking pass. There is no street parking and the ranch warns that vehicles may be towed. The lot opens to the public at 10:00 AM each morning, and tailgating is permitted in the parking lot only, before gates. Accessible parking is available near the festival access route, with golf cart assistance built into the plan for guests who need it.
Tent camping and RV camping are both limited, and the organizers expect camping to sell out ahead of general admission. Campers check in at 7:00 AM Saturday. RV camping is dry camping with no hookups, so arrive self-sufficient. Maximum length is generally 40 feet measured from hitch to rear, with slide-outs and awnings required to stay inside your assigned site, and a cap of six registered campers per RV site.
Approved Founders and VIP campers can begin arriving around 4:00 PM on Friday, December 4, for the Founders event in the vendor area. Friday is otherwise a setup day and is not open to the public, with quiet hours enforced in the camping areas.
What to Wear and What to Expect
Dress for a ranch, because that is where you are. Boots are encouraged. Much of the property is grass, dirt and natural terrain, so this is not the weekend for shoes you are precious about. Central Florida in December swings hard between a warm afternoon and a genuinely cold night, so layers are not optional advice.
The event is rain or shine, subject to safety conditions. A professionally operated alcohol garden is in development, with service details and partners still to be announced. Food vendors span barbecue and smoked meats, tacos, wagyu burgers, wings, Cajun and seafood, specialty hot dogs, Italian ice, cookies, popcorn, lemonade and dirty sodas. Cellular service on rural property can be uneven, so bring more than one payment method.
We Will Be There
Sunset Country News is covering RanchFire on the ground across the weekend. We will be reporting on the sets, the artists, the vendors and how a first-year festival on working ranch land actually comes together, which is a harder and more interesting job than it sounds from the outside.
If you are going, or if you are a vendor or artist on the property, come find us. If you are still deciding, the practical answer is that camping and the Founders package are the two things that will run out first.

No. RanchFire Festival is a strictly 21 and over event. Every attendee must present a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in, and no one under 21 is admitted under any circumstance, including children and infants. This applies to camping as well, so every registered camper must also be 21 or older and hold their own festival admission ticket.
