The WDNT brings in over 3,500 attendees for two days of competition with a festival atmosphere. Tournament highlights include national media, sponsors and vendors from across the country; national high school and club division championships, a U.S.National Team exhibition game, the U.S. Lacrosse High School All Star game and a top notch recruiting opportunity for high school players.

2010-2011 US Lacrosse U-11, U-13 and U-15 National Youth Festivals
 The US Lacrosse National Youth Festivals offer opportunities for boys and girls youth lacrosse players from around the country to participate in a national lacrosse event. The goal of these youth lacrosse events, through a festival format, is to emphasize participation, geographic diversity, sportsmanship and friendship rather than crowning a champion.
US Lacrosse has redesigned the traditional festivals in hopes of reaching the growing lacrosse population across the country. US Lacrosse will host two National Festivals in 2010–2011, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast, catering to boys and girls in three different age groups over the course of five days. A national gathering of a combination of Chapter represented teams along with any other makeup of teams who embrace the Festival Mission are scheduled to play five, 60-minute games and partake in opening ceremonies and an organized social activity.
The US Lacrosse Youth Festivals are not just another youth lacrosse tournament. They're about camaraderie, meeting people, and participation and education. Most importantly it's about having FUN! No trophies are awarded but everyone goes home a winner.
