Rules & Etiquette

1. The Land Celebration is Sacred Space and should be treated as such. Please respect the shrines, grottoes, labyrinths and all other parts of the property as you would your private Circle. Also, please be aware that nothing should be removed from the property. There are many semiprecious stones in place throughout the grounds. Do not remove them and please help us discourage others from removing them.
   
   
2. All campsites are rustic. We do not have powered sites available.
   
   
3. Staff members wear GOLD Cowboy hats. Volunteers wear SILVER cowboy hats.
   
   
4. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied throughout their stay by their legal guardian. Unruly and unattended children will result in their entire party being asked to leave. No refunds will be made.
   


5. Anyone under the age of 21 caught drinking alcoholic beverages or under 18, smoking tobacco products, will be asked to leave. No refunds will be made.
   


6. This festival is NOT clothing optional. Normal rules of dress must be observed while at the festival. If you do wander around inappropriately garbed, you will be asked to return to your campsite ONCE. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave.
   


7. Pets and familiars are the responsibility of the owner. If your pet is off leash and bothering someone (including someone else's pet), you will be asked to put the animal in a travel box or leash it. If you fail to comply, you will be asked to leave with your pet. All pets should be leashed or boxed at all times.


8. All tent camping areas are a QUIET ZONE after 10 pm. The entire event field is available for late-night conversation, although it is also a low-noise zone after 1 am.
   


9. Please monitor your own behavior. If you become a pest, cannot control your own behavior or become disruptive or disturbing to others, you will be asked to leave and not welcomed back. If burning restrictions are in effect, we are required to follow them to protect the woodlands, fields and wetlands.
   


10. Swimming is at your own risk and expense.
    


11. Do not put nails into the trees and if you tie something to a tree, be sure to remove it completely before you leave. We recognize and respect the tree devas and they know and trust us to take care of them.
    


12. Use common sense with candles and torches in your campsite. Pine needles go up in a flash and it will be a bad day in tent city if we have an accidental ignition.

2. Sunscreen! There are areas of the grounds that are very open and sunny

Instruments & Music

1. If you play an instrument, bring it.

Consumables

1. WATER containers. Drinkable water is available but you will need something to carry it in.
2. Whatever kind of food you like to eat if you do not intend to purchase your meals from the food vendor. Remember it will be hot and perishables should be kept on ice.
3. Snack foods (salty is good if you are permitted by your health). If you are bringing short people you will want to tuck in extra snack foods that are reasonably healthy for them to share with their buddies wherever the kids decide to gather.
4. Any personal medication you may need
