3. Numbers (not tickets) are handed out to those waiting in line for the festival land rush each morning. If you want a spot up front you'll need to be in the line all night, but you can get a decent spot even if you walk in with the general public.

The numbers are handed out for the "Tarp Run' each and every morning for the festival grounds. This is for the four days of TBF only.

The 'Land Rush' will be the Saturday prior to the festival's beginning. It's not actually and 'rush', more of a gentle walk, for most camps, because of the respect given to 'historic camps' that attend each year, and the parties they organize for everyone's benefit and fun.

Tom, you did an awesome job explaining everything! Thanks again for being "The Mayor of Town Park' during festival each year!  Medal

Thanks Hope.  Flower
I try my best, and occasionally miss something. Thanks for the correction of the "Tarp Run" info. Cheers

Thanks to you all for the helpful info!  Can't wait to meet you and/or see you again.... not that I'll remember meeting you before, but I'll believe you if you tell me we did!   I've had a few folks say they met me at RockyGrass and I just smile and say...'oh yeah'.

This is Colorado, you need shoes for the trails. Ultralights are grippin good fun and light so your feet stay cool. Shoes for the river, if you like to play in the water.

People are open and free and if you take up tarp space just remember if the tarp fills with all the owners and it gets tight, it is possible you will be asked to move. In a kind and loving way Flower
