Tickets

Can you buy tickets in person somewhere?
We will be offering them locally in Santa Barbara @ Bizerk. There is likely to be a location in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, stay tuned! If we haven’t sold out, tickets will be available at the door.

Anyway to win a ticket?
Yes, we continue to launch Facebook contests. Please stay active and participate when made available. We have had local raffles for tickets and there will be radio promotions in some markets – keep your ears open and eyes peeled!

-Does my ticket include camping?

3-day camping passes do include camping.
2-day passes are camping optional.
1 day pass does not include camping.

What’s the difference between “car camping” and “single occupant car pass”…which one do i pick if i want my car parked near our camp?
Car Camping is what is needed to park your vehicle inside the event, with your camp. While Single Occupant Car Pass is the $20 fee if you show up to Lucidity alone in your car. To park for free in general parking, bring another Dreamer in your vehicle!

When we buy our ticket it asks which village we would like to be our preferred campground. Does this lock us into camping in a certain area? Can we change this after point of purchase?
No… we are merely trying to get a general sense of what camps people are most drawn to. You can camp anywhere you are called!

I heard you have to buy a camping pass on top of the festival ticket, is this true? Or is the camping included with the festival ticket..?
NO, camping is included in the 3- and 2-day ‘camping’ pass. You have the option of purchasing a car-camping pass which allows you to park your vehicle in your camp with you. If you do not get the car camping pass then you park in general parking and walk your stuff in. Everything is within easy walking distance. If you only purchase a car camping pass, you will still have to purchase a festival pass to get into the event.

Parking

How does parking work?
Please arrive with ID ready, printed smart code ticket, or hard ticket. Follow the directions of our Parking Staff – the DreamCatchers. You will be processed, tagged, and released. We may check in with you periodically to see where you’ve been so we can start getting data on your migration patterns!

If you are a single occupancy vehicle, also have the $20 parking fee ready for the DreamCatchers. All ride-share & carpool vehicles park for free, outside the festival in the parking location.

Each Car Camping pass allows for one vehicle to enter the festival. Each person is required to have their own 3- or 2-day camping pass in order for admittance to Lucidity.

Can we bring bicycles?
Everything within Lucidity is within walking distance. If you feel the need to bring your bike, consider decorating it, and please operate and store it in a fashion that promotes safety.

Camping

How does car camping work? Does everyone camp together, but some cars are allowed in?
All Camping is restricted to the 6 Archetypal villages. Car camping allows you to park vehicles at your campsite (in the village you are camping within.) If you do not purchase a car camping pass, then you park your vehicle in general parking outside the main gate and walk in. There are a limited number of Car Camping passes. We encourage camps with multiple people to pitch in and use Car Camping as a way to bring multiple participants equipment and gear to the camp.

Once we are placed in a village, do we have free reign to set up camp?? If we want to camp theme camp style, can we set up a stage for performances? Is there room for that?
All camping is restricted to the 6 Archetypal villages. Within each there is a village circle – please respect the areas created by the infrastructure as well as those of your camp-mates. Each village provides ample camping space for many Dreamers. This is an open-source event, you are invited to bring and do what you like as long as you are respectful and are compassionate to the needs and experiences of others.

We cool to run a generator?
Please be conscious of generator placement and the hours of use. If you are unsure, error on the side of being considerate of your camp-mates. Consider bringing and decorating a generator cover – plywood walls with an open top. If you do not feel artistic, allow it to be a Live Art collaboration!

Can we post up theme camp style?
Check out our villages, they are based on Archetypal themes… and yes, we encourage theme camps! Contact us before hand if you would like to discuss which village might best represent your theme camp – email [email protected] and [email protected]

Is there an official sign up for our camps or do we just show up to the camp we have connected with?
There is no official sign-up process for camps. Please touch base with those you’ll be camping with in advance and you’ll be directed to the village when being greeted. If you are coming with a large camp or theme camp, please feel free to join the Village Facebook page you plan to camp in, and collaborate with other Dreamers camping in your village.

Will there be a RV/Trailer camping area?
Yes, but you must have pre-purchased an RV pass. We only offer a very limited number of these. If you do not receive an RV pass and show up with an RV, you will have to park in general parking.

Is this festival a camp out/ bring your own tent function?
Yes. Please bring your own tent, dome, yurt, or free-design structure to camp in.

What are the different Villages for camping about, and what do they mean?
Lucidity offers its campers 6 Archetypal themed villages to camp within. The Lovers Nest (Representing the Lover Archetype – hosting a world-class cuddle-puddle and many things self-Love… this is not only a ‘couples’ village), the Trickster’s Playground (embodying the Fool or Jester energy – also hosts our Alive Stage), the Warriors Way (Warrior spirit – this showcases much of our Flow and Movement arts… Fire dancing, Glow spinning, Qi-gong, Tai-chi, kung-fu, practice weapon sparing, etc), the Healing Sanctuary (Mystic/Sage energy – hosts our fee-free healing space as well as spiritual and healing workshops), the Family Garden (Mother, Father, Child energies – as well as a home to our eco-conscious and perma-culture workshops and seminars), and finally the Nomad’s Nook (Loner/Rebel energy – harnessing the collective of underground crews and housing our Renegade Sound Stage.)
Each village will contain content with the intention of bringing you into greater understanding of yourself through Archetype identification and balance.

Logistics

Will there be a central trash/recycling or do we take out waste with us?
This is a Pack it in / Pack it out event. Our motto is to leave it better than we found it. If you bring garbage or packaging we ask that you plan to pack it out when you leave. There will be recycle, trash, and composting bins available. Help by bringing reusable eating utensils, plates, cups, and cloth napkins, and by removing products from packaging and cardboard boxes before coming. Water is provided on site so no need for plastic water bottles – in fact, we discourage the use of plastic water containers as they are not only poisonous but destructive to the Earth. Please plan to pack your own trash out.

What is the food situation (are there places to cook our own food? A common space for all guests or is it up to our camps to set up a kitchen area? Can we bring personal camping stoves, are there fire pits or bbq’s, within our camps)?

Propane BBQs and camping stoves are permitted, but there are absolutely NO OPEN FLAMES or charcoal burners.

Conscious food venders, regulated by SolFood (Sustainable, Organic, and Local) will be providing food during days and evenings, and a local Farmers Market will be made available daily. We encourage the use of food provided through the festival as we are being conscious to make it both affordable and healthy – and it creates less waste and trash than bringing in your own.

Are there shower facilities?
There are showers available on site. We are working to create a fun shower environment!

Where is the closest City/Store?
The Paradise Store is the closest store, located a few miles to the south. Live Oak Campground sits roughly between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez – both roughly 20 minutes away.

Are all body workers and healers licensed or certified that attend and offer services at Lucidity?
No. Many are, but as an open-source festival that encourages participation we also want to allow those with natural abilities to contribute as they feel fit. We ask all practitioners who are unlicensed or uninsured to refrain from heavy pressure and/or any structural work. We encourage participants to develop a relationship and communicate your needs, concerns, and any questions prior to enjoying the healing arts.

I didn’t get accepted to host my workshop or play with my band, will there still be a way for me to contribute at the festival?
Absolutely. Besides keeping open slots in our workshop & stage schedules to allow for some in-the-moment open-source opportunities just like this, we also have many participant driven sound camps that will be offering space to play and perform. Explore – if you are meant to share a certain gift, the chance to express and collaborate will make itself available!
