We couldn't be more thrilled that you're considering joining us at the 7th official Umbrella Weekend festival! This event is so much more than just a party - it's a vibrant celebration of community, art, music, and love. Our team's mission is to create a space where everyone can come together to share and be inspired, while exploring the magic that arises from the gathering of a truly talented, creative and welcoming community. Thank you for supporting us by being a part of this incredible journey.

Very, very soon! Keep an eye on our social media and your email for more info :)

Pack for all weather conditions—hot days, chilly nights, and yes, even a little rain and wind! Bring your best festival fits, a rain jacket or poncho, and don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and comfy shoes (trust us, your feet will thank you). A full packing guide is coming soon to make sure you’re festival-ready!

Lost something? Visit the HQ booth during the festival. Post-event, DM us on Instagram @AfternoonUmbrellaFriends with a description, and we’ll do our best to reunite you with your lost treasures!

While we suggest embracing the moment and getting off grid, there will be Wifi available for purchase thanks to The Festival Wifi Guys!

Umbrella Weekend is a self-reliant experience, so bring everything you need to be comfortable. While we’ll provide designated camping areas and bathrooms, it’s up to you to pack your essentials— think tent (don't forget stakes!), warm sleeping gear, food, water, and whatever else makes your camp feel like home.

There will be no showers available on-site, so plan accordingly! We recommend bringing a portable shower bag or, if you’re lucky, making friends with someone who has an RV. Embrace the festival spirit — wet wipes and good vibes go a long way!

We’ve got clean and accessible restrooms and hand-washing stations throughout the festival grounds. Please respect your festivalgoers by keeping them tidy for everyone!

Documented service animals, who are trained to handle loud and active environments and required for disability, are the only animals that are allowed at Umbrella Weekend. Please note, this does not include emotional support animals, therapy animals, or companion animals. Any animal whose task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship is not considered a service animal and will not be allowed into the venue.

Out of respect for the artists and the overall vibe, personal DJ setups and sound systems are not allowed. We will have music playing around the clock - let’s keep the focus on the magic happening at the stages!

For safety reasons, personal fires are not allowed. But don’t worry — we’ll have designated fire areas where you can gather and stay warm.

No clackers allowed. Respect the dancefloor, the artists, and the vibe.

Please do your best to arrive within Box Office hours. We cannot guarantee entry if you arrive after the Box Office is closed for the day. We also highly recommend arriving during daytime as much as possible, as the desert roads can be confusing in the dark.

No, we will not be allowing ins & outs. If you need an exception, talk to our box office or HQ teams!

Yes! While we recommend being prepared with meals to sustain yourself, we’ll have a variety of food vendors with delicious options including pizza, tacos, acai, coffee and more! There will be vegan options available as well!

Umbrella Weekend happens rain or shine, so keep an eye on the forecast and pack accordingly. The forecast is looking like 60-70° during the day and 30-40° at night, so come prepared for all types of weather!

Safety is our priority! Medical and emergency services will be on-site to assist as needed. If you see something, say something to the rangers, medical, security teams, or any other volunteers who will know where to direct you.

For emergencies, the nearest hospital is Barstow Community Hospital Emergency Department, 820 E Mountain View St, Barstow, CA 92311. We will have on-call staff at the festival to help assist or provide transport to the necessary facility.

Yes, we will have Guardians security and RGX medical on-site 24/7! Our trusted team of Rangers will also be roaming the festival grounds 24/7 to ensure attendee safety. The Guardian's approach to security services focuses on de-escalation, mediation, conflict resolution, and minimizing any use of force. Guardian team members will be at box office, every stage while music is playing, and at HQ. Umbrella Rangers are here to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming festival experience by focusing on harm reduction, community safety, and attendee well-being. You can identify a Ranger by their bright yellow sash, vest, or wristband.

Honestly, you won’t need one! The festival grounds are small and easy to explore on foot. If you do bring one, please ride responsibly—no speeding or reckless riding. Let’s keep the vibes safe and fun for everyone!

Umbrella Weekend is a Leave No Trace event -- meaning we are all responsible for leaving the land as it was before the festival! This means cleaning up after yourself all weekend long. Please come prepared to manage your own trash and keep your campsite clean, and take all garbage with you when you leave. Remember -- Pack It In, Pack It Out!
