Preparation is key

We consider Canyon Vibration a community event and expect everyone to behave responsibly, courteously, and to be self-sufficient. To keep it this way, we must all take the time to understand the expectations of attending and ways to exercise care for the folks around us. Please make sure you and anyone you bought a ticket for reads the following: 

Get there safe, leave safe

The event address will be sent ticket holders. It’s a two hour drive to Tygh Valley, so please look for ways to carpool with friends to help us reduce the impact on the land. Purchase a parking pass in advance. Do not come or go outside of the explicitly stated gate times. We have a zero tolerance policy for driving under the influence. Proof of age will be checked on entry (21+ only) 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 in the field and walk (or cart) your stuff in. The upshot is that the tree campsites are incredibly 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

Be kind to those around you and be considerate of the amount of space you take up on & off the dancefloor. Do not touch others or their belongings without their expressed consent. Only “yes” means yes. No is a complete sentence. Don’t be overly intoxicated. This is not the time to try something new, so please act with care and support one another.

Tell us if something’s off

If you become aware of something dangerous at the event, such as someone being overly intoxicated or someone acting inappropriately, seek assistance from security or let any crew member know. From there, the Safety & Wellness Crew will be called to assist.

Not looking for fire vibes

This area of Oregon is arid grassland and is one of the most fire prone areas in the state and August is an extremely dry season. 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. There will be hot water available for cooking hot food.

  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.

About the food and drink..

There is no bar. Ben’s Coffee & Smoothies will be back at the barn. We are working to secure at least 2 food truck options this year! More details coming.

Pack it in, Pack it out

Please be sure to clean up after yourself and leave no trace. Please bring your own trash bags to pack out your stuff.

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. Please no glow sticks or flashy blinky things on the dancefloor. 

Prepare for the Heat

Hydrate! Eat well. A great way to stay cool is to jump in the river during the day, so make sure you bring your suit. You can re-up on ice in town during open gate hours at The Way Station at Tygh Valley and Tygh Valley General Store.
