What’s the difference between Holler Fest and Camp Holler?
Well, with practically a full roster of music and workshops – not much! But there is one big difference – we are not requesting a specific ticket amount for entry, parking or camping. We have no “corporate sponsors” (no logos on the stage yet!) and hope that folks will relate to this CSF (Community-Supported Festival) and donate as they are able. Even with this slightly smaller version of our festival, there are still lots of expenses. Here’s the donation link, and thanks to those who have already donated and thanks in advance to those who are about to! Camp Holler Fest Donation
Will there be food at Camp Holler?
Yes! Although we encourage you to bring your own food as well, since the Holler Kitchen will not be running at full steam.
FRIDAY NIGHT: we continue the tradition we started in 2024 with an epic Holler-wide potluck. Bring your favorite dish to share; it’s helpful to include a short description so we can group together non-vegetarian, vegetarian, vegan dishes, etc. All food styles are welcome!
SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Rite Spice Kitchen will be in the Holler with their signature Indian food and drinks.
SNACK BAR: will have limited hours offering fresh-squeezed lemonade, Holler Tea, and various snacks.
SATURDAY DINNER: Pilar’s Tamales will cater a number of their classic tamale meals, served from the Holler Kitchen.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING: Check the Holler Kitchen for creative breakfast and brunch fare.
Please bring cash to either pay our vendors or donate to the Holler Kitchen meals.
Will there be Merchandise at Camp Holler?
Yes! We have beautiful Camp Holler 2026 t-shirts and totes available this year AND unique Camp Holler mugs from Doug’s Mugs. Custom logo transfers are back like last year. The logo color is white (fyi) – bring your own cotton shirt or other garment and the merch folks will press the logo where you want it! Logo transfers range from $5-10 depending on size, T-shirts $20-25, Totes 10-$20.
The second edition of the Holler Fest cookbook – in color! – will also be available. The leather crafting workshop with Bliss enables the creation of a unique dragonfly key fob/hairclip, etc.
Please bring cash for payment or donation!
Will there be other wellness services?
Reiki is offered as well as Thai massage (there is a charge for Thai massage). Check the schedule for other workshops that contribute to awareness and well-being!
Camping FAQ
There is drinkable water and hand washing available at the pump house on site.
Porta johns available.
Walk-in and Car Campsites are available. RVs are allowed, no hookups available.
We kindly ask if you “pack it in, please plan to pack it out” in terms of rubbish, as we aim to leave no trace.
A caring note to the community- to familiarize yourself, kids, and friends with how to identify poison ivy and plan to avoid contact. It does exist out here on the farm. Though we have made an effort to mitigate from main traffic areas, this is an organic farm where the wild wins if you go off the path! If known contact happens, washing with COLD water and soap within 30 minutes can really help reduce symptoms. “Technu” poison ivy soap will be available at the First Aid tent.
And finally…Camp Holler 2026 is a community-based festival with no tickets, wristbands or volunteer schedules. It is actually based on trust: trust that the community will support the Camp and the artists; trust that the community will support and look out for each other; trust that the community will contribute to and co-create an experience to which they belong as a member, not solely as a consumer.
This is not the standard festival model and understandably it’s a little confusing. “Why aren’t they selling tickets? When is my shift? How do I get a wristband?” All valid questions and we may go back to the standard model in the future so that there will be solid answers. But the casual Camp model has encouraged additional volunteers who have stepped up and taken more ownership of the event. And we are grateful to our core group of volunteers and supporters who have stuck with us through the years. (We’re gonna need all the help we can get, especially if we expand to a larger event for our 20th anniversary – 2027!).
So thanks for hanging in there – to the end of this note and hopefully to the end of the festival – Closing Circle here we come! We do our best to provide the setting and the community makes the festival. It is our wish and goal that you will all be Happy Campers!
