FESTIVAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

3 – 6 OCTOBER 2025

WEATHER

Because Skydance is located at altitude, temperatures can fluctuate from day to night. Please plan for both cold and warm weather by bringing adequate clothing and sleeping equipment.

CAR PASS

All eligible vehicles require a car pass to park on top of the mountain for the duration of the festival. These can be purchased alongside your general admission tickets. We highly encourage you to CARPOOL to split the cost, reduce emissions and make the ride that much more enjoyable.

Only 4WD, AWD, CAMPERS & VANS will be granted access to the mountaintop. All other vehicles will be admitted up the mountain on a case by case basis depending on vehicle condition and driver confidence. Our 4WD bus will ferry you up & down to the summit.
