Field and Tent Spots Still Up for Grabs


Festival season is in full swing, and if you're a music lover who craves adventure, MoonFest is where you want to be! Scheduled for August 15 & 16, 2025, this vibrant gathering offers not only outstanding music but also a chance to connect with nature and fellow festival-goers. Even though reserved camping spots have sold out, there are still plenty of field and tent camping spots available. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this amazing experience!


An Enchanting Venue Awaits


Set on a stunning 50-acre property, MoonFest features a gently sloping field that overlooks Lake Leland, the largest lake in Jefferson County. Picture yourself enjoying live music while taking in the breathtaking views of the lake. This natural amphitheater boasts incredible acoustics that make every performance memorable.


The spirit of MoonFest thrives on community, creativity, and artistic expression, largely due to its partnership with "Neptune's Stage," a non-profit that champions the performing arts. Beyond the fantastic music, you also contribute to supporting local artists and the arts community.

Your Essential Packing List for Camping at MoonFest


Proper preparation can elevate your festival experience. While you might have your favorite items in mind, consider these specific essentials that will enhance your weekend:


1. Bring Your Own Drinking Water


Although water stations will be provided, everyone's body reacts differently. Bringing your own drinking water ensures hydration without any surprises. Plan for at least 3 liters per day to keep you refreshed while soaking up the sun and enjoying the live music.


2. Dress in Layers


In Washington, weather can change quickly. Wearing layers will keep you comfortable, whether you start your day basking in the sun or end it needing a warm sweater. Try pairing a light tank top with a flannel shirt and a lightweight jacket for comfort—perfect for showing off your festival vibe!


3. Keep Mosquitoes at Bay


Outdoor events often attract buzzing friends. Pack mosquito repellent, whether it’s a spray or natural oil, to keep these bugs at bay. A good repellent can reduce bites by up to 80%, allowing you to focus on enjoying the music rather than swatting at pests!



Get Your Tickets Now!


A standout feature of MoonFest is its limited ticket sales. This ensures an intimate atmosphere where you can connect with fellow attendees and truly enjoy the music without feeling crowded. Be to secure yours quickly!



Exploring Lake Leland


When you're not lost in the music, take time to explore the natural beauty around Lake Leland. The lake offers peaceful spots perfect for quiet reflection or a leisurely walk. Take a moment to soak in the tranquility; you might spot local wildlife or simply enjoy the scenic views.

MoonFest is calling all lovers of music and nature! With available field and tent camping spots, it's time to gear up for a weekend filled with fun, friendship, amazing vendors, educational classes and fantastic performances. Remember to pack wisely, dress for varying temperatures, and carry enough water to stay hydrated.


As you immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere under the stars, you’ll realize that MoonFest is more than just a music festival—it’s a heartfelt experience. So what are you waiting for? Secure your tickets and get ready for an unforgettable journey into the heart of music and nature!
