Described by Joseph Bruce as a "Juggalo Woodstock",<ref name="BehindthePaint470" /> the Gathering of the Juggalos spans four days and includes concerts, wrestling, games, contests, autograph sessions, karaoke, and seminars with artists. According to the roots music journal ''No Depression'', the event displays the Juggalo culture's connection to hillbilly culture, by featuring "backyard wrestling, [[Wild West]] imagery, [[county fair]] performers like [[Naughty by Nature]] and [[Gallagher (comedian)|Gallagher]] [and] acres and acres of white guys [wearing [[Sleeveless shirt|wife beater]] shirts] getting high."<ref name="Music" /> Over its first eleven events, the festival has drawn an attendance of about 107,500 fans.<ref name="BillboardAttendance" />

In July 2012, the media organization ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'' released ''American Juggalo'', a twenty-minute film documenting the festival, through their subsidiary music channel, Noisey.
