Groovers and groovettes!
The sacred hour is nearly upon us. We want to thank you for supporting us in our venture to curate radical undulations, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in store. A night of staring at flashing lights and oscillating our ear drums awaits. In anticipation of dancing to like a bajillion songs, the good people of Ranchofest have prepared this pamphlet to help guide you through your spirit quest. As participants in this historic occasion, we ask that you all do your part to create safe and respectful environment. Please be considerate of other’s space and the land on which we have the privilege of dancing. Above all, we encourage all attendants to bring smiles and funky dance moves.
Ranchofest is a PRIVATE, DONATION-BASED gathering, so any and all help is appreciated. Recommended donation is $20, but feel free to donate more if you want! This ensures we can keep this going for years to come.
If you would like to bring a +1, please let the person who invited you know. Anyone not on the invite list will be turned away.
DonateWhat to expect
Ranchofest is a pack it in, pack it out festival. Please come prepared to pick up after yourself and leave no trace on the ranch.
Amenities:
- Multiple water stations
- Clean porta potties
- Santa Maria-style grill for cooking
- Chill out area
- Road on the ranch is not paved, but even. All cars will have no issue coming in or out.
Camping:
There will be a designated tent camping area. Please be mindful of the space around you and considerate of others when setting up your tent. If you prefer to sleep in your car, you may do so in the parking lot.
Food & Drink:
BYO food, snacks, and libations! There will be a large Santa Maria-style grill available with charcoal, but you should consider bringing your own grill supplies if you are set on grilling. Definitely bring an ice chest to keep your things coooool.
Landscape:
The lawn on the ranch is slightly uneven. Be mindful and cautious of where you step on the property—we don’t want any twisted ankles!
Weather
As this event will be held in the spring, there is always the possibility of rain. Please come prepared with rain gear for yourself and your tent, jackets, umbrellas, closed-toe shoes, and whatever else you may need to find comfort if there is some rain.
