WE Fest customers to receive refunds for over taxed food and drink

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – WE Fest customers who attended the country music festival in August may be seeing a small refund appear in their bank accounts in coming days after the festival’s management admitted to a small tax collecting error on food and beverage purchases.

In an email to customers, management stated 0.5% or less on the tax collected from food or beverage sales were made in error.

They said their point of sale provider has made the correction and will be sending customers a refund for that amount to their linked accounts.

WE Fest management encourages customers to keep an eye out for the refunds and apologize for the error.
