We will have waste reduction efforts in the food vending and concert area. If you’re interested in waste reduction, you can bring your recyclables and compostables to the sorting station in the vending area. Attendants will be present to ensure that sorting is easy and efficient. All drink and food vendors will be using compostable plates, bowls and cups to help minimize concert waste.

All Glampers will have their weekend passes checked in at the main gate and then be directed to the glamping area to unload luggage. If you plan on leaving your car parked through the weekend, you can park in the Glamping area, otherwise you will be directed to main field parking.
All Glamping tents have a power supply, a lamp, side tables, and an outdoor entry rug to leave your shoes.
Be aware that New Mexico’s high desert terrain “field” is not a lawn. The area will be prepped and mowed but the native flora can be spiky/prickly.
There will be a bathroom trailer complete with four private stalls, each with sinks and showers, as well as an ADA accessible portable toilet. All bathrooms are available for Glamper use only.
