Good morning! or good afternoon! or good evening depending on where you are! God damn it! seems like the Syndicate has replaced all the punctuation marks on our word processors with exclamation marks! There we go, fixed it. Sorry about that. It's non-stop monkey business at the Bureau, you know how it is.
Anyways! We are thrilled, and we mean thrilled, to announce the first installation of the Bureau's hundred-year annual program where the following items will be rigorously field-tested for optimal production of Goodtimes:
- Sound waves that makes you dance way past your bedtime
- (but you still feel decently fresh the next day, somehow)
- Technology that transforms small talks into medium talks and maybe even into some big talks!
- Space where daily concerns can be forgotten, just for a little while
- Lots of workshops to practice more of what you love or try something new
- Really tasty meals cooked by wonderful people with amor
And so and so forth! You get the idea. The Bureau's Office of Making Sure Eveyrone Has the Best Possible Time is working tirelessly to create an environment where all two hundred of us can generate sufficient levels of Goodtimesium to last us through the winter. And if our calculations are correct, the Goodtimesium half-life should extend well into your return to normal life, spreading it to your friends, family, and coworkers like radioactive glitter.
As long as we could evade any disruptions from the Syndicate, everything should go smoothly as planned, and nothing will go wrong :) So Let's make some memories together, come join us for a weekend of dancing, laughing, learning, dancing some more, and creating a community of kindness and love for 3 days.
๐๏ธ TICKET PRICES ๐๏ธ
Oh, and we're non-for-profit. So every cent you spend goes back into our events. The tickets include a spot to pitch a tent or park your van, workshops, activities, two nights of music, 4 rounds of food, and an open bar (really!? that's all included!? yes, see below for more info). Here are the prices:
Fruit Growing From the Ground (Presale) - 90 euros SOLD OUT
Low-Hanging Fruit (1st release) - 105 euros SOLD OUT
Hanging Fruit (2nd release) - 120 euros SOLD OUT
Fruit (3rd release) - 135 euros SOLD OUT
- High-Hanging Fruit (Final Release) - 150 euros
The idea is that you wouldn't have to spend a single cent at the event since everything is included. (Only exceptions are getting a tattoo, a massage, or ethnobotanical tea at the Mystical Mixology Bar.)
We really want to show you pictures of the beautiful location! But we can't! It's a secretive venue, and we respect the owners' intention to keep the place as under-the-radar as possible. So here is a photorealistic depiction of what the site will look like:
We are stoked to present you the following artists, who each bring a unique quality but have one thing in commonโthey make you wanna boogie!
We also have a
Spotify playlist with tracks submitted by the DJs. Check them out :)

The festival is around an hour's drive from Barcelona and there will be plenty of on-site parking. Alternatively, you can travel by train to Terrassa and then take a taxi to and from the event (less than 20 minutes, less than 20 euros).
Freshly made food will be provided four times during the festival by the Bureau's Department of Feeding Hungry Souls, made up of great friends of ours who also happen to be professional and hobbyist chefs. However you are still advised to bring some supplies with you, like light snacks, fruits and things to keep you going for breakfast, and while the kitchen is closed.
We're asking each of you to contribute your favorite bottle of alcohol, soft drink, or a creative combo of both to our communal bar. Don't worry, we'll also stock up on water, soft drinks, popular spirits, and some beers. Once we're all set up, drinks will be on the house โ no checks, no charges, no need to carry coins! But that doesn't mean we endorse getting absolutely bananas-drunk. Please enjoy responsibly :)
Tea will also be available at the Tea House, where the workshops will be held during the day and ambient and chill music will be played at night. If the dance floor is too much for you, you can always come here to relax and make new friends. We'll also have plenty of drinking water available at the bar and the Tea House.
Please bring a tent! We have a couple areas where you can camp. The campsites aren't right next to the dancefloors, so you should get good sleep at night! Which also means: make noise at the party areas and respect the sleepers! Vans and vehicle camping are also welcomed โ there is a limited capacity for camping vehicles so please email us and secure a space.
