Join us for 24 hours of magic in the Pines
Every year we invite our community, fellow artists, friends, and family to join us for a magical night of music and art. Mayfest is a gathering built on connection — a place where creativity is shared freely, new friendships spark, and familiar faces feel like home.
Your ticket is more than just entry. It’s an invitation to wander through the pines, discover art tucked into unexpected places, dance under the stars, and experience music that’s meant to be felt as much as it’s heard. From DJs and live performances to immersive art and spontaneous moments, Mayfest is about being present and letting the night unfold naturally.
We keep Mayfest intentionally intimate and community-focused. Every ticket helps support the artists, performers, and volunteers who make this event possible — and helps us continue creating a space that’s welcoming, inclusive, and a little bit magical.
Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, your friends, and your best vibes. We can’t wait to share the night with you.
Your ticket includes
Your Mayfest ticket gets you full access to the event and a place to stay for the night.
• Entry to Mayfest — enjoy all the music, art, installations, and late-night magic
• On-site camping — bring a tent and settle into the pines with friends, artists, and fellow wanderers
Planning to arrive in an RV or camper?
Each person will need a regular Mayfest ticket, and you’ll also need an RV pass for your vehicle.
RV passes help us manage space, access, and the overall flow of the grounds so everyone has a great experience.
First Time at Mayfest?
Welcome — we’re really glad you’re here.
Mayfest isn’t a massive festival, and that’s very intentional. We limit tickets because we carefully curate the vibe. The goal is to create a space that feels safe, creative, respectful, and connected — where artists and attendees share the same energy and everyone looks out for one another.
Keeping things smaller means more room to explore, easier conversations, and moments that feel personal instead of overwhelming. Less chaos, more magic.
If this is your first Mayfest, come with an open mind, wander freely, and don’t be afraid to say hello. You don’t have to know anyone when you arrive — chances are you’ll leave knowing plenty.
