Preparation is key

We consider Canyon Vibration a community event and expect everyone to behave responsibly, courteously and to be self-sufficient. This is much different from a festival model where patrons are assumed to be immature fuck ups and must be policed by security. To keep it this way, we must all take the time to understand the expectations and keep our friends in check. Please make sure you and anyone you bought a ticket for reads the following expectations: 

Get there safe, leave safe

Address will be sent to ticket holders the day before the event. It’s a two hour drive to Tygh Valley, so please look for ways to carpool with friends to cut down on car space. If you don’t know many people, you might try posting in the facebook event. Do not come or go outside of the explicitly stated gate times (Friday 3pm-9pm, Saturday 1pm-7pm). We have a zero tolerance policy for driving under the influence. Proof of age will be checked on entry and you will be asked to sign a waiver agreeing to terms of the event.

Camping situation

There are two zones to camp in, the trees, and the field.

  • The trees - this zone is walk in only, meaning you'll need to park 150-300 yards away and walk your stuff in. The upshot is that the tree campsites are insanely beautiful and provide shade throughout the day. These sites will be available on a first come first serve basis.

  • The field - There's no shortage of camping in the field, and you'll be able to camp next to your car, or in your car for those who are inclined. The field will get hot, so you may want to consider bringing an EZ-Up for additional shade.

Be a good dancefloor citizen

Ask for consent. Only “yes” means yes. It’s okay to say no. Don’t be overly intoxicated. Keep friends in check. Report offenders. Seek assistance from the Safety & Wellness crew, they will be identifiable by Safety Vests during the day, and Red Light Up Lanyards at night.

Lose yourself in the moment

Wear whatever, dance freely and help others feel comfortable doing the same by not taking photos or videos on the dance floor. We know the lasers are face-meltingly-awesome, but please limit your photography to shots from the periphery. Also, this isn’t an underage rave, so please no glow sticks or flashy blinky things on the dancefloor. 

Tell us if something’s off

If you become aware of something dangerous at our event, such as someone being overly intoxicated or someone acting inappropriately, seek assistance from the the Safety & Wellness crew, they will be identifiable by Safety Vests during the day, and Red Light Up Lanyards at night and they will escalate as necessary.

Not looking for fire vibes

This area of Oregon is arid grassland and is one of the most fire prone areas in the state. Wildfire danger is high and a very scary and real thing that everyone must take extreme caution to avoid. Please take note of the below fire safety rules and help us enforce them. There are no exceptions. 

  1. NO OPEN FLAMES - Camping stoves are not allowed

  2. NO SMOKING. Includes joints and cigs. This is an e-cig or vape only campsite.

  3. ONLY DRIVE ON MOWED GROUND.  Do not drive through any tall grass.

  4. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR IDLING.  If your car is not in motion, turn it off to prevent grass from catching fire from your engine.

Pack it in, Pack it out

Please be sure to clean up after yourself and leave no trace. There will be garbage cans for our meal service, but otherwise, please bring your own trash bags to pack out your stuff.
