LAST WORD - LEAVE NO TRACE
Our ability to continue hosting the festival on this amazing property is dependent on how well we treat and respect the land. Please help us keep the festival grounds clean and beautiful. We’ll need your help with this! Several hundred people camping, partying, eating, driving, sitting, peeing, and doing all the things we do make a real impact on our physical environment. Our goal is to minimize that impact in all the ways we can. First, we ask that you please carpool.
Next, make sure to Plan Ahead and Prepare! Pack it in, and pack it out. Be responsible for your materials and limit the packaging and trash you bring. Please also be conscious of your cigarette BUTTS – get creative and make a decorative container to store your butts in rather than toss them on the ground. Do not bring cases of plastic water bottles - bring gallon jugs and reusable containers. We will have FREE water available in the campsites.
What does your footprint look like? Are you planning decorations for your camp or theme that could blow away or come apart? Consider investing in a bunch of reusable battery-powered decorations & keep the leave no trace philosophy in the back of your mind as you plan. We have faith in you! Let's work together to leave Fort Royale Farm better off than we found it!
NOTE: We will not have an ATM Machine on-site so bring some extra cash just in case you need it.
Be safe, take care of each other, and let’s all work together to make High Hopes Music Festival a RAGING success!
