At the Fest

Ground Control
(On-Site)
Ground Control teams are trained, highly visible fellow ravers who patrol the festival grounds carrying water, electrolytes, and essentials to look out for the community. They can help you find your friends, guide you if you are disoriented, and offer a friendly face if you are feeling overwhelmed. They are not security or law enforcement; they are peers who understand the culture, and their only goal is to keep you safe and connect you to deeper care if you need it, with absolutely zero judgment. -
Medical Tent
(On-Site)
The medical tent is a free, fully equipped field clinic staffed by licensed doctors, nurses, and paramedics who specialize in treating everything from severe dehydration and heat stroke to acute substance reactions. Medical tents operate under strict medical confidentiality, meaning they are absolute sanctuary zones. If you or a friend are experiencing a scary physical reaction, you can tell the medical staff exactly what was consumed without fear; they will never report you to security or law enforcement, and asking for life-saving help will never get you in legal trouble or kicked out of the venue. -
Chill Zone
(On-Site)
The Chill Zone is a quiet, low-stimulation space located far away from the heavy bass, flashing lasers, and dense crowds, designed specifically for decompression and emotional grounding. Staffed by compassionate listeners who understand how to handle anxiety, panic attacks, or intense psychedelic over-activation, this area provides a safe environment to catch your breath, drink water, and rest. This space exists purely for mental and emotional welfare. Nobody is there to lecture or punish you, and you are free to ride out an overwhelming experience or reset at your own pace until you feel ready to head back out.
