Age
This is an all ages event however anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. A legal guardian must have proper documentation. No exceptions.
Shade
Shade structures are recommended to ensure optimal coverage throughout the day but we ask to be mindful of the amount of space you take up and we ask you to consider your neighbors when planning your shade.
Pets
Pets are not allowed within the festival. If you show up with a pet you will be denied entry. If you are caught with a pet inside the festival you will be asked to leave.
Parking/ Shuttling Your Gear
The parking area will be a very short distance from the camping area this year. We will be providing a trailer system to assist with your gear to get back and forth. You will be able to load your gear in the backs of the trailers and walk alongside of it. Please prepare for this when deciding how much stuff you want to bring with you to the festival.
If you have been to LIB in the past don’t let this scare you. The campgrounds are much closer to the parking areas and there are no more hills.
Amplified Sound
Amplified sound is NOT permitted in camping areas! Please leave your sound systems at home and enjoy the music we are providing on our stages.
Land Grabbing
There is no “land grabbing” once you arrive in the campgrounds. Its popular for people to bring caution tape to block off space for their friends and this is not fair to all of the LIB participants so our campground managers will remove it. If you’re just saving a small spot for a friend or two just kindly speak with other attendees that may want to try and set up there as well.
There is also no specific allotment of space when you buy a car camping or full weekend pass. It is encouraged to only use what is reasonable for you and your camp mates. As always be prepared to make friends with new neighbors who will be in or next to your camp.
Safety and Security
Security/Medical/Rangers
High Rock Security our LIB Ranger Team and Medical teams will be on patrol and stationed 24 hours a day throughout the festival in the event you need their assistance. If you ever need assistance you can contact any LIB staff member, go to the medical stations, info stations or any campground management booth.
Illegal Substances
LIB is a drug free event. Anyone caught with or doing any illegal substances will be escorted from the event and may face legal consequences.
In addition to our Rangers and Security teams on site the Riverside Sheriff’s will be assisting us onsite throughout the festival in the event that they are needed.
Nudity
Nudity is strictly prohibited at LIB. We’re not just a family friendly event but it’s the law.
Fire
There are no open fires allowed except in designated fire pits existing in some of the campgrounds.
There is also no fire spinning or fire tools permitted inside of the festival.
NO SWIMMING IN THE LAKE
We know its going to hot but there is ABSOLUTELY NO swimming in the lake or no body contact with the lake.
Lake Skinner is a reservoir and is the drinking water for local communities. If people don’t obey this rule it will jeopardize our ability to host LIB here again.
