MISC Qs

Can I leave and re-enter the festival?
Yep! Your wristband allows re-entry. Just don’t lose it—no wristband, no return.

Is there cell service & WiFi?
Sporadic at best. Screenshot directions and coordinate with your crew ahead of time. Plan on not having reception. Bring cash for purchases.

Is this a family-friendly event?
Yep! You can bring the kids.

Will there be music all night?
Expect music late into the evening. Quiet hours are encouraged in camping areas, but the main stage might keep the beats bumping and we’ll have some late night fireside jams. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

🎶 FINAL VIBES

Mantrabash is more than a festival—it's a gathering of hearts, rhythms, and roots. Respect the land, respect your neighbors, and come ready to be part of something special.

A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into producing this event for Mantras fans and music loving festival goers. Please, if you see staff or a volunteer working hard, recognize them with some kind words and even a consensual high five or hug.

See you down in the holler! 🔥🎵
