Easy access to festival site-All welcome
It is easy to get to Lillooet, approximately four hours from Vancouver by car, bus or rail. Once in Lillooet turn south on the Texas Creek Road (the only road running south from Lillooet on the west bank of the Fraser River). Proceed to the Rocky Flats Farm located just past the cattleguard which you cross approximately ten and a half miles south of Lillooet.
Rocky Flats Farm will serve as a point of registration for the festival and it is here that you will be given detailed directions to the festival site. Transportation will be provided the additional ten miles up Texas Creek to the head of the trail which gives access to the site. This is a very good trail with relatively easy grades, suitable for children and non-mountaineers. A three hour hike will bring you to the Alpine Meadows where the Festival will take place.

The formal portion of the festival will occur the evening of August 31, the day of September 1, and the morning of September 2. This will give participants adequate time for travel.
Adequate clothing is a necessity as any type of weather is possible at high altitudes in late summer. Yet, the festival is located at the edge of the interior dry belt region and it is often clear and sunny in Lillooet while raining in Vancouver. Although the Lillooet Tribe will see to it that no one goes hungry whatever food you can bring will be appreciated. Try to choose items which lend themselves readily to combination with other fare.
