Outside Alcohol
Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board regulations prohibit outside alcohol at the event. Any campers in violation of this policy will be asked to take their alcohol back to their cars. Beer will be available for purchase at the festival.
Cannabis
While cannabis is legal in WA state, it is illegal to consume cannabis in public. Cannabis is not allowed at the event.
Trash
Leave no trace! Pack out what you pack in and help us keep our property beautiful. Dispose of trash, recycling and compost in the marked bins located throughout the festival. Help us out by going a step further. If you see something on the ground that doesn’t belong, please pick it up and put it in the nearest bin. We’re all in this together!
Quiet Hours
Quiet hours in the campground are between midnight and 8 AM and will be enforced. Be respectful of your neighbors and please keep noise to a minimum after hours. If you’d like to socialize after hours, please walk to any number of great common spaces that are away from campsites.
Parental Guidance Suggested
We love having children at TARBOO (12 and under always free)! We also strongly support all artists’ right to express themselves how they please — we will never ask artists on our lineup to censor their lyrics. We highly recommend that you listen to our festival playlist prior to TARBOO so that you can decide which artists you’d like your children to see and hear.
