The venue is located on a 400 acre property with plenty of camping space under the trees. Cars are not allowed to drive on the roads within the event. To unload your gear, you may pull up close to the event center, unload into the provided carts, park your car, and then use the carts to settle into a camping spot. For those who would like to car camp, the parking lot is close to the epicenter of the event.
For those with RVs, you may park anywhere in the parking area where there is enough space. There are no water hookups or dumping facilities for RVs. All cars and RVs must purchase a parking pass at the entry gate.

TAKE YOUR TRASH WITH YOU.
Trash cans are NOT available at the Movement Play Microfestival. Compost and recycling containers are. Do not leave any trash at the venue grounds. Come prepared: leave as much packaging at home, compost and recycle what you can at the event, and then take the rest with you. Plan ahead to minimize your waste. Pack it in, pack it out. Leave no trace. Thank you!MONEY AT THE MOVEMENT PLAY MICROFESTIVAL
At the Movement Play Microfestival your food and water needs will be provided for, including teas, coffee, and snacks (although you may want to bring one or two your fav specialty snacks). While Movement Play is not about consuming, but rather embodiment and presence, we recognize that our community is full of artisans who thrive primarily on the support of their community who purchases their products. Body work services to care for your body temple will be available for purchase, and the annual Bazaar will be open on Saturday afternoon only. Other than that, you won't need money while at the Movement Play Microfestival!
If you would like to sell you products in the Bazaar, they must be hand-crafted products made locally or globally with fair trade labor. Please complete the Vendor Application to apply.
MOVEMENT PLAY CULTURE
Movement Play events are an invitation to play, connect, and relax. The feeling is one of community, family, and respect. These events are not about getting wasted and being belligerent. Throwing trash on the ground is REALLY UNCOOL and disrespectful, and is not in alignment with the vibe of our gatherings.
Don't throw any trash on the ground.
The Movement Play Microfestival is a small enough event that your community will see you when you are being present and responsible, and likewise they will see you if you choose not to be. This is an evolved consciousness event. Sloppy intoxication is uninvited.
