Can I bring a Cooler?

Absolutely!  SkunkFest is a cooler friendly, BYOB event.  We ask that you either take your empties with you or deposit them in the appropriate recycling/trash receptacles.  Also make sure to place bottle caps in the trash receptacles!!

Can I bring Food?

SkunkFest is a cooler friendly event – so feel free to pack whatever you’d like to eat & drink over the weekend.  We’re real excited to announce that Smiley’s Acoustic Cafe will be selling their delicious vittles this year!  They’ll be selling food Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening!  We’re also excited that Leopard Forest Coffee will be selling their tasty coffee roasts!  They’ll also have breakfasty yummies Saturday morning.  Both of these vendors will accept cash only.

Can I Camp?

Camping is the best (and most responsible) way to enjoy SkunkFest.  The SkunkFarm has many great places to camp, so come early to reserve your favorite spot!  This year, we’ll be charging $10 per vehicle for camping during SpringSkunk.  All vehicles remaining on SkunkFarm property overnight must pay the camping fee.  (All violators will be towed.)  Camping passes are sold per vehicle, so pack yours full of Skunk-goers!  Click here to purchase your camping pass and click here for more camping specifics!

Everyone on Festival grounds MUST wear a wristband.  This means EVERYONE.  (All campers included!)

Not into Camping?

There are many hotels in the Greer/Greenville/Spartanburg area, but we suggest the Quality Inn Greer, who will again be offering great SkunkFestFan rates!  There are also many B & B’s in Landrum, SC, and Tryon and Saluda, NC if you’re into that sorta thing!

Trash & Recycling:

There will be recycling and trash receptacles throughout SkunkFarm.  Make use of these as we really do not like litterbugs!  We ask that you be responsible for your camp site as well – make sure to clean up after yourselves prior to your Sunday departure.

While you’re on Festival Grounds:

Wristbands MUST be worn for entry into SpringSkunk | SkunkFest.  If you purchased a ticket prior to the Festival, you must redeem this for a wristband when you arrive.  Wristbands are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and cannot be replaced. Wristbands must be worn throughout SpringSkunk | SkunkFest.  (And yes, they’ll hold up for three days!)

ALL PEOPLE ON FESTIVAL GROUNDS MUST WEAR A WRISTBAND – NO EXCEPTIONS!

Facilities:

The SkunkFarm will have multiple port-o-john stations.  There is also a “one-holer” to the right of the stage, providing all the luxuries of a modern bathroom.  Additionally, there are a couple of sinks/hand washing stations sprinkled throughout the listening and eating areas.

Recommended Accompaniments:

We recommend that you bring either a low lawn chair or a ground cloth.  A flashlight and/or glow sticks might also be handy!

Parking:

Click here for a map of SkunkFarm, identifying general parking and camping areas.  Handicapped parking will be available – just follow the signs!

Volunteering:

Volunteering is a great way to earn a free ticket to SpringSkunk | SkunkFest.  Some of the volunteer opportunities include:  Festival setup, litter control, ticket booth, food servers, wristband checkers, and Sunday cleanup crew. Volunteers must be prepared to work at least one three hour shift each day. That’s only six hours total!  In exchange for volunteering, you’ll receive a Weekend ticket to SpringSkunk | SkunkFest.
