The Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival was founded in the fall of 2012, but it has been known by several different names, including the Odd Future Carnival and the OFWGKTA Carnival, since its inception. It is an American music festival and carnival celebration.
Tyler the Creator
is the genius behind the festival, which includes stages for musical acts, a gigantic Ferris wheel, food vendors and a score of random carnival rides. In its earlier years, the festival was held for just one day only. The carnival is now held over a two-day weekend in October or November of each year.
''Tyler the Creator wanted to throw an epic block party for his 2011 album release. He spoke with his colleagues and music producers, and a one-day Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival event was born. With the success of its debut year, Tyler the Creator started planning the next music festival, which has turned into a fun and lively annual event.'

'Past Camp Flog Gnaw Carnivals have featured various up-and-coming artists from a variety of different music genres. Tyler the Creator typically takes the stage on the first day of the event.

The lineup for 2019 has not been announced at this point.'
'Tyler the Creator is an icon in his own right, and everyone flocks around the stage when he performs during the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. While all hip-hop artists selected for the festival add to the ambiance of the celebration, there are some stars that leave a lasting impression. In 2018, iconic performances were given by Kid Cudi, Kanye West and Lauryn Hill. As the festival gains popularity year after year, attendees can expect more big names and memorable performances from a variety of new and established artists alike.'
'When you attend the Los Angeles-based festival, you can expect a beautiful day with various carnival games lining the streets around the festival. You can also enjoy the offerings from a wide variety of food vendors. All the food vendors, carnival games and musicians playing the different stages are curated by Tyler the Creator himself.'

The next carnival will be held at
Dodger Stadium
on November 9th and 10th. Keep in mind that the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival is a hip-hop event, so wear your very best couture outfit to make it into photos or videos taken at the festival.
''In previous years, Camp Flog Gnaw's musical guests have performed on one of three stages. The stage names draw their titles from the name of the festival. There is a Camp stage, a Flog stage and a Gnaw stage. Before the beginning of the festival, there are several announcements describing which artist will be playing on each stage.'
