Fans can also take advantage of new glamping and preset RV options for a more seamless, turnkey festival experience.

They can also check out the heart of the experience, Spirit Lake. Each night features a masterfully curated music and light show over the water. Other full sensory experiences include large-scale installations, projection mapping, interactive sculptures, and live performance art.
