Feel like staying over and camping’s not your idea of fun? Try Glamping, or glamorous camping, which is like a luxury hotel room arranged under a safari tent. You’ll have all the comforts of home with a double or queen size bed, night stand, luggage stand and an outside table and chairs. Includes access to an air conditioned lounge that offers a breakfast buffet and late night snacks, live entertainment, lounge seating and a cash bar, as well as air conditioned private bathrooms and shower trailers only for glampers.
If you’re hanging around waiting for your favorite band to take stage, there are plenty of activities to occupy your time. There will be hot air balloon rides and a TOMS tent with local artists ready to customize your favorite canvas TOMS shoes for only $64. There will be an Interactive Art Gallery where you can make your own photo flip-book or customize rustic oak windows with your words, paintings and drawings.
And what would a festival be without food and drinks? For your eating and drinking pleasure there will be higher-end pop up restaurants serving everything from Sweet Tooth’s ice cream, Salúd’s mexican fare, grown up comfort food from The New Kitchen to Italian food, burgers, and an Asian bistro.
