What is the Fest?

The Fest is a 4 day explosion of living and thriving in the Sierra Nevada's Emigrant Wilderness . It has been 2 years since we last saddled up the mules and took to the backcountry. It's high time to grab your sacks and packs and get out there again...We will be enjoying the sweaty granite and artichoke scented pines to the fullest. We will most likely leave from Sardellas pack station and head out to a lake to be determined....somewhere deep.

We will have mules to carry our shit, so you will need to only walk your fat ass out to the lake.

Are you in?

We need to confirm festers as early as you can. Once committed we will be ordering mules and food based on this number, so respond when you know for sure.

Email festitup@gmail.com with your commitment or regrets. If you have a buddy that you think would be a good addition to the crew, pass his name to festitup@gmail.com and we will judge him worthy or not.

Cost of the Fest

Depending on our guest list, the price of the fest will be $175-$275. This will include mules, food and liquor for the week. You will be responsible for all sleeping equipment and personal party favors. Due to to the donkey's being a major part of the cost, and a fixed cost at that, we will not be able to give price breaks for shortened schedules.
