Rules Overview

Violation of any of the rules may be grounds for having your ticket revoked.

Admission: Valid photo ID is required at the gate. All persons under 18 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult, parent or guardian.
Cars: Please obey all signs. Drive slowly and stay alert. Don't park any where that you have not been directed to. Your car should stay parked for the duration.
Prohibited: Glass, private campfires, fireworks, explosives, charcoal grills, pets, and weapons of any kind.
No Pets: Sorry, your furry, feathered, or scaled friends won't find Heaven on Earth at this event.
Leave No Trace: Pack out everything you bring in, including cigarette butts, gum wrappers, pistachio shells, apple cores..... everything.
Fire: Any use of open flame must be registered and pre-approved and must follow all the requirements outlined below.
Toilets: If it isn't from your body, don’t put it in the potty! Trash in the toilets will prevent us from pumping them, cost money and threaten the viability of the event.
Alcohol: Please consider staying clear and sober for the event. Should you desire to drink and are of age 21 with proper wrist band, Budweiser has generously sponsored an area that you can purchase beer. We ask participants to only drink in the designated beer garden. Underage drinking will not be tolerated and is grounds for removal from the event. Bring your photo ID. Your ID will be checked at the gate and is required for admission. Excessive quantities of alcohol will be confiscated at the gate. Glass is not allowed. Please use reusable plastic cups or cans.

Noise and Generators: Noise levels need to stay at a level that will not disturb your neighbors. Noise restrictions for generators and music will be enforced. If you wish to bring a sound system, please register ahead of time as a theme camp, so that we can place your camp in a manner that will not interfere with other music or activities.
Local Laws: Heaven on Earth and Wind Walker Learning Center are under the jurisdiction of county, state, and federal laws. You should comport yourself, with regard to these laws, as you would in any municipality.

Rules Details:
The Heaven on Earth community wishes for you to be free to create art and interact with others. However, we do have some ground rules, though we try to have as few as possible. These are largely to fulfill safety, insurance and government codes, so that we can continue to have the event in the future. If you witness a violation of any of these rules, feel free to support the safety and viability of the event and correct the situation yourself. If you don't feel comfortable with that, please inform one of the volunteer Rangers/Security (wearing Ranger shirts) or someone at the Salon Headquarters.

Bring your own food, water, and shelter. Portable toilets will be the only amenity provided. Tolerate and respect your fellow participants. Do not interfere with the enjoyment, art, or expression of others.

Safety
You are responsible for your own actions, safety and well-being. You are encouraged to assist in keeping others and your neighborhood safe. Intervene if you see a potential safety hazard. Heaven on Earth and Wind Walker Learning Center accepts no responsibility for your safety or the security of your personal property.

See the Preparation Section for more information on car camping and camp placement.

Prohibited Items
• No glass! Transfer liquids to reusable plastic containers or use cans.
• No charcoal BBQs, tiki torches, candles, oil lanterns, fireworks, flares, or explosives will be permitted (propane stoves and barbeques are ok).

We don’t want to risk it

• Please keep your neighbors in mind. Sound from any camp must not disrupt adjacent camps. Sound systems in your camp must be held to reasonable levels.
• Please camp in the appropriate sound level area (see map in event guide for quiet / loud zones) – remember to always bring extra earplugs!
Sound systems are limited to certain areas of our event and must be registered in advance as a theme camp.

Fire Rules (subject to county/state fire ban)
• The state and/or county may issue a comprehensive burn ban. If so, we will work on a variance, but can by no means guarantee that we will be able to burn anything. The fields and grasses are likely to be dry and flammable. The county and the state consider violation of the fire ban a serious criminal offense. If you violate the ban, you may face legal repercussions. Take this seriously. Fire can put the lives and property of many people at risk.
• If fire art is permitted by the authorities, you still must register your fire art or fire barrel for pre-approval.
• Fire performance must be conducted in the designated fire performance areas ONLY.
All use of fire must follow these requirements:
• With the exception of camp stoves and gas barbeques, no fires of any kind will be
Permitted without prior written approval.
• No personal campfires, charcoal BBQs, tiki torches, candles, oil lanterns, fireworks, flares, or explosives will be permitted. All materials relating to these items may be confiscated so please just don’t bring them.
• Cooking stoves must be on a level surface with any dry vegetation within one yard removed.
• All generators, fuel storage, and potential spark-sources must be placed in areas in which all dry vegetation has been removed.
• Smoking is allowed in designated areas only. Butts must be disposed in designated buckets, ashtrays, or personal butt boxes. Don’t throw butts on the ground. They do not eventually go away and create a very difficult mess to clean up. If we have a burn ban in effect, smoking may be restricted to inside cars. PLEASE respect the extreme fire danger and the safety of those around you. Several recent grass fires on site were started by sparks and raged out of control for hours.
• Violation of the fire rules is grounds for removal from the event.

Local, State and Federal Laws
Comport yourself with regard to all local, state and federal laws as you would in any municipality. Law enforcement may briefly appear at the event, but please be respectful if you see any. They will return your respect. We wish our very positive interactions with law enforcement to continue.

Generators
All generators must be sound insulated with mufflers or fireproof housing.
