IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS YEARS FESTIVAL

We have chosen our brand new site at the Lodgepole Centre on a long history of a meeting grounds between 2 traditional rivers for treaty people. This is a massive increase in size and space for the festival which we can use effectively to ensure all cars and guests can park and camp with ease. The owner of the land is a supporter of the festival and is always improving the grounds for our community. We are working hard to grow the festival at this site as there is much more land to be accessed for

future years.

Furthermore, key areas of production are now being managed by Gord Bamford's Production Crew. We have hand-picked this company and their team on the recommendation by our local feedback from the past festivals in Alberta. This company have worked with Neon Smoke and Gord Bamford on multiple tours and large concerts with top artists across the world. They will help us to put on an absolutely incredible show with their staging, sound, lighting and team.

WHEN CAN I ENTER?
Doors open at 11AM on Friday (15th) with activities from 12PM. We recommend you arrive on the Friday to ensure you enjoy all the festival has to offer! On Saturday - Monday doors will be open from 9am and activities will begin from 10am. The festival gates will close at midnight. We recommend you arrive as early as possible.

QUIET AND FAMILY CAMPING ZONE
With our upgraded new venue for 2025 we are able to offer a large section of the campsite to be family and quiet camping. There will be late night jamming in the main area after the acts finish and a traditional teepee fire gathering planned, for multiple gatherings for late night festivities and acoustic jamming until dawn. Noise is not permitted in the campsite after 11pm and security and stewards will be on patrol to ensure quiet and peace.

CAN I BRING IN ALCOHOL?
Alcohol cannot be taken into the festival due to licensing restrictions. Drinks are much cheaper(to free in certain herbal cases!) than regular festivals so come and enjoy a cold locally fermented solution and instead help support the food/local vendors, workshop skills and all of the artists too! We as facilitators are focused on building up all members with greatness via the best years of prep on the land can offer.
