FIRST TIME HERE?
Welcome, from all of us at MRF!
We know many of you haven’t attended a festival or camped before, so let us walk you through what to expect, and what to bring!
Â
What to Expect
The festival is a campout.
While we have amenities like showers and flushing toilets, it’s still very rustic. So please pack wisely and prepare for the elements, such as rain, bugs, and the summer heat (expect hot days and cool nights).
