At rural festival, we value an environment where everyone can focus on the music and enjoy it from the heart.
We do not tolerate any form of harassment that disrupts this experience.
Our goal is to create a space where all people can feel safe, free, and welcome to enjoy the sound.
There is no “right way” or “set style” here.
Some dance at the front of the floor, others chat in the back.
Some sit on chairs or the grass to listen, while others enjoy a BBQ or a drink by their tents.
However you choose to spend your time, let yourself feel the music in your own way.
If you notice someone feeling unwell or in need of help, please reach out to our staff.
Let’s care for one another with kindness and awareness,
so that we can all share a safe and comfortable environment together.
Take care of yourself, take care of those around you, and take care of this land.
rural believes in the connections born through sound, and in the quiet resonance that continues long after the music fades.
