Labyrinth 2011 Basic Info

Timing

Gates open for the event at 3:00pm on Saturday Sep. 17th. Please do not try to come camping on Friday night or on Saturday morning, as the venue will be closed. Music starts Saturday night at 6:30 pm and goes until 1:30 am the first night. On Sunday, music will start from around 9:00 am and go to 1:00 am at night, and on Monday music will go from 8:00 am to around sunset.

We have reserved the venue until Tuesday the 20th, so it’s fine to camp on Monday night (the 19th) after the party is finished and leave on Tuesday the 20th.

There are also hotel rooms available Monday night for anyone who wants to rest up in town Monday before returning on Tuesday.

Driving

If you are driving back after the party, please drive safely. Don’t drink and drive. Please designate a non-drinking driver, or even better, on Monday relax at the venue or stay at a hotel in town, so you can safely return on Tuesday refreshed.

Camping

Please camp in the designated camping areas only. If you camp outside these areas, you will be asked by staff to move your tent.

There is running water available at the venue, and there is one covered bbq area. Cooking in the camping areas is prohibited by the venue owners, so if you plan on cooking for yourself, please make sure to use this designated area. Most of the area is used as soccer grounds at other times, and the town is concerned about keeping the land in unspoiled condition, so please also ONLY bbq in the designated area.

Weather

The weather can change quickly, so come prepared for all conditions. The weather can get very cold at night up in the mountains, so make sure to bring warm gear (fleece, jacket, rain gear, sleeping bag, etc). The sun can be very strong, and there's little shade at the venue, so a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are all highly recommended. Here is the weather forecast for the area.

Showers

There are no showers at the venue, but there is a free shuttle bus that runs into the town every hour throughout the festival, so you can take hot baths at the local hot spring. There will be more information at the front gate giving shuttle bus times.

Respect

Please treat the local area and people with respect. We are guests in their home and are very fortunate to have access to this venue, which is located in a national forest sanctuary. We have to leave the whole area in absolutely pristine condition, so please be responsible with your garbage and do not enter restricted areas.
