It's that time again! We're all very excited for the return of this year's annual Amberland, at Cherokee Farms in LaFayette, Georgia. We've got some exciting never-been-done-before events planned for this years festival and are looking forward to seeing all of you this weekend. Below is some pertinent information relating to Amberland. PLEASE READ THROUGHT IT CAREFULLY.

Gates will open at 3pm on Friday and close promptly at 1 am. Do not come early expecting to get in. Gates will re-open on Saturday morning at 10am and remain open until midnight. On Sunday, gates will open again at 10pm and close at midnight. All patrons must be off the property on Monday morning by 11am.

Please come prepared to take care of your trash by bringing trash bags and when the weekend is over placing them together with your neighbors' trash in a central, easy to pick up location. The more everyone helps out the more helpful it will be for the Amberland crew and ground staff.

There will be no RV passes sold this year, but you are welcome to bring an RV, camper, or tow behind trailer. You will be directed to a specific camping area, so as to not disturb the primitive camping areas. Tickets at the gate on Friday and Saturday will cost $100 and must be paid in cash. Day passes will be sold only for Sunday at a cost of $50.00; there are no Saturday-only passes. If you need to change names for Will Call, please send any corrections to ben@nimbleslick.com before Wednesday! Amberland is a no re-entry event, so please come prepared for the weekend. We will not have ATMs or credit card machines on site this year, so please come prepared with plenty of cash for vending and basic supplies that will be made available at the general store. Food vending will include seafood, barbeque, and hot dogs / burgers. Jeff Wood of Drowning Creek Studios will once again be producing another beautiful limited edition print to commemorate the event and for those that purchase the print, you will have the opportunity to have it signed by the band. Ice and water will be available for purchase on site.
