BUILD THE FESTIVAL WITH US!

To get the land ready for you, we need founding BASS SECTION Volunteers (see what we did there?) to participate in the 2026 WORKING WEEKENDS.

Earn free passes

Be part of the vision-building of and amazing festival of rhythm, dance, and lights! 

Build the festival with us!

For now it's rough tent camping with a few camper vehicle spots (no hydro) but we have dreams of adding cabins for all kinds of festival goers. The land already hosts a wide variety of large events that keep coming back year after year, this place has a magical energy and we can build a beautiful rhythm and movement festival together, but we can't do it without you and YOUR ideas!

Fill out the form for more info and to let us know what skills and tools you feel able to contribute, the work weekends you're available for, and other ways to chip in!
