APOG is a communal effort. This means we need and expect all members of our community to practice the following guidelines. Not only will these guidelines be enforced by the APOG team (leading to disciplinary action, when necessary), they are meant to encourage the growth and sustainability of a community that values safety and the wellbeing of others - both at our APOG events and throughout the whole year.

1. Personal Accountability

We expect all members of our community to make their best effort to create a safe place for themselves and others. Be aware of the physical, mental, and emotional space of the people around you. While we all look out for one another, only you can control your own behavior and how it may impact someone else.

2. Enthusiastic Consent

APOG is a community that practices and encourages enthusiastic consent! Enthusiastic consent is verbalized and consistent positive cues. This means, saying the word “yes”.

Learn more information about Enthusiastic Consent at APOG.

3. Setting and Respecting Boundaries

Boundaries are verbal and non verbal actions that create a baseline for an individual’s willingness to interact with someone else. These actions communicate an individual's preferences and needs for interaction.

Verbal actions: Vocally communicated boundaries.

Nonverbal action: Avoident behavior that varies depending on person, environment and interaction. Such as…

• Purposeful lack of eye contact.

• Purposeful physical distance.

• Shaking of the head to avoid an interaction.

• Turning one's back to avoid an interaction.

4. Freedom of Expression

Without the creativity of everyone involved, APOG would not be special. Be kind in your words and actions towards others in how they choose to create and participate. Challenge yourself to be your most authentic self.

5. Inclusivity

Forms of bigotry and discrimination against race, culture, sexual orientation, physical disability or intellectual disability are intolerable. APOG is a safe place for all.

APOG is a full-weekend event and re-entry is not allowed. Please be sure to arrive with everything you need for your stay.

APOG is a weapons and gun free event. Any weapons discovered during check-in, or reports of weapons during the event may result in immediate removal from the premises. We ask that all attendees help us keep this community safe. If you see something, say something.

APOG is held at the Darrington Music Park, approximately 90 minutes north of Seattle.

General Admission begins Friday 7/3/2026 at 10AM. Ticket holders must arrive before 10PM Friday so we can limit traffic in the venue after dark. Saturday arrival is not allowed.

All guests must exit the venue by 4PM on Sunday July 5.

Early Access: Thursday Early Access passes will grant entry to the venue on Thursday evening from 5-9PM, so you can set up, get settled, and enjoy warm-up sets at each of our stages. Early Access passes are only valid with a GA ticket.

No passes will be sold at the gate. Anyone attempting to arrive on Thursday without an Early Access pass will be turned away. No exceptions will be made.

APOG has multiple camping areas to choose from. All tickets include access to walk-in camping areas, however Car Camping and RV Camping must be purchased separately. You can find more info about vehicle passes on our ticketing page. Most walk-in camping areas are within a 5-10 min walk from Standard Parking.

• Forest Walk-In Camping:

  These coveted camp sites are in the shade of the trees, but also close to the stages. These areas are best for guests who plan to enjoy the music late into the night.

• Prairie Car Camping:

  The Prairie is a flat open area that’s still close to the action but separated from the stages. These sites are sized to fit your personal vehicle and 1-2 tents for the occupants of the vehicle. Spaces are filled in the order they arrive. You must arrive with your group in order to be parked together.

• Prairie RV Camping

  Camping for RVs, camper trailers, and oversize vehicles >24’. No hookups are provided. These spaces are filled in the order you arrive.

• Quiet Camping:

  APOG has added a new forested camping area that’s separated from our nighttime stages. This walk-in camping area is open to all.

• Group Camping

Group Camping sites are located in the Meadow and include space for personal vehicles as well as tents. Groups that purchase these sites can arrive at any time during arrival hours and join their group.

APOG will host two food trucks and one coffee vendor, serving options on Friday and Saturday only. We strongly recommend coming prepared with some of your own meals and snacks to be safe though!

Split Open & Melt: Cheesesteak goodness, hot sandwiches, and delicious fries. Follow and learn more on Instagram @splitopenandmeltllc.

Outpost Eats: Flavorful Asian inspired rice bowls, sandwiches, and salads. Find them on Instagram @outpost_eats.

Bucky’s Coffee Dome: Bucky’s offers a welcoming space for folks to pause, connect, and recharge. Gather under the shade of the dome and enjoy a cupa’.

Ice will be available for purchase on Saturday afternoon in the amphitheater for $5/bag. Please plan to pay with cash.

Open flames are strictly prohibited by the Venue. This means items such as charcoal grills, wood fire pits, and fire flow toys are not allowed under any circumstance. Propane grills and camp stoves are allowed though.

We encourage guests to enjoy APOG’s official musical offerings, and campsite ‘renegade’ sound systems are not allowed. Please remember that our volunteer community has worked hard all-year to create this curated experience for you (and your camping neighbors!). PA style speakers and DJ controllers/turntables are not allowed in camping areas. Please be respectful of your neighbors and keep personal music at your campsite limited to reasonable volumes.

If you are arriving before the rest of your group and want to save space for them (aka a “land grab”) you must bring and set up their tents for them. A standard tarp or ground tarp alone is not considered an appropriate claim. The intent of this policy is to give everyone a fair chance to camp where they would like, and to prevent unnecessary camp sprawl. Respect your fellow grassholes!

3rd-party delivery of any vehicle is not allowed (including but not limited to RV’s, trailers, and camper vans). You must be able to maneuver your vehicle/camper onto and off of the property.

Admission tickets for 2026 are SOLD OUT. Hop over to our Ticket Page for more info about ticket types.

Re-entry is not allowed. For specific questions and concerns contact info@apog.life.

APOG is a leave-no-trace pack-in/pack-out event, which means everyone is responsible for removing their own waste and leaving the venue just as we found it.

• Plan ahead and reduce or eliminate packaging on the items you bring to limit how much trash you produce at the event.

• Always bring trash and waste back to your camp and never drop garbage in the forest - especially cigarette butts (pro-tip for smokers: bring a small Altoid tin or ash pouch your butts)!

• Pack garbage/recycle bags and collapsible camping bins to collect the waste you produce at your campsite.

• Bring your reusable cups, bowls, plates, utensils, water bottles, straws, wine glasses, and whatever else you can.

• Bring large reusable water jugs for your camp - we will have potable water stations on site in easy to reach locations.

• Small things that jangle are lost easily - have an appropriate “container of shame” to help collect anything you spot on the ground.

♻️ SEPARATE YOUR RECYCLABLES♻️

APOG will collect clean crushed aluminum to be recycled off-site. Your campsite will need to plan to take any other recyclables back to your homes or visit a recycling depot on your way home from the event.

APOG was built on the belief that responsibility and accountability play a huge part in having a really good time. When everyone does their small part it’s amazing how quickly things can get better. Thank you for doing yours.

Animals are not allowed (except your freaky-ass self).

Bathrooms and water stations are available inside the venue. These will be marked on the venue map and signs will be posted to help you find them on site.

Drones are not allowed without prior written approval from APOG. Please contact us at info@apog.life
