Your Guide to Timber!

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU. HERE’S YOUR QUICK GUIDE TO EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Getting There:

For your GPS pleasure, the address is 31020 NE 40th St. Carnation, WA 98014. But you can simply enter Tolt-Macdonald Park in your favorite map app to get you there. Please see below regarding traffic warnings.

 

Parking:

There is a $25 parking fee. You can purchase your parking in advance by clicking here or have $25 cash ready upon arrival.

Checking In:

Check-in and Ticketing open at 2 PM on Thursday, July 23th. If you’ve purchased camping and want first dibs on the location of your campsite, this is the earliest you can arrive. Please do not arrive sooner as backed up cars can cause traffic problems for the city of Carnation. And we love Carnation!

PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY IF YOU CAN, and avoid peak traffic times if you can. We are guests in Carnation, and it's important to us that this festival has as little of a traffic impact as possible on those who live there.

Check-in and Ticketing open at 9 AM on Friday and Saturday.

Check-in and Ticketing close at 9 PM on Thursday, 10 PM on Friday, and 9 PM on Saturday.

Show your ID or pre-printed tickets to receive your festival wristbands and tent tags at the check-in booth. If you need help with your gear, we will have wheelbarrows and volunteers at the ready to help!

Policies:

Dogs: Just a reminder that Dogs are not allowed at Tolt-MacDonald Park during Timber! Outdoor Music Festival. Please visit www.rover.com to see dog sitting options within 10 minutes of the Festival.

Also, please keep a close eye on your children if you choose to visit the beach or be near the river. There is no lifeguard on duty, and the river current can be dangerous.

Alcohol: Due to WA State liquor laws, no outside beer or alcohol is allowed on the premises. However, we’re proud to be serving some fine beer, wine, and seltzer at incredible prices.

No Firearms: Timber! Outdoor Music Festival is a private event, and as a private event, firearms are not permitted beyond our festival entrance.

Cannabis: While cannabis is legal in WA state, it is illegal to consume cannabis in public. Cannabis is not allowed at the event.

River Safety: We encourage people to enjoy the river, but please be aware that rivers are dangerous.  Floating the Tolt can be an amazing time, but please stay within the property of the park. We have no pull-outs below the North border of the park, and if you miss that pull-out, you are on your own.

Please pay attention to the currents, stay safe, and have a buddy. There is no lifeguard on duty.

Please visit our General Information Page to view all of the policies, FAQs, and details you need to make sure you have the best weekend ever.

PARENTS

 

Donation Option

 

It has always been Artist Home’s mission to keep Timber! accessible and free for children 12 and under, and that remains deeply important to us.

That said, the cost of producing Timber! has increased significantly over the last two years, (as it has across most industries), at a pace that’s been challenging to keep up with. While kids have always been free at Timber!, they do count toward our capacity and each person on site comes with real infrastructure and production costs.

If having your children attend for free is what makes it possible for you to be there, please ignore this message. We want you and your families with us, always, and there is no judgment what so ever.

However, if you are in a position to make a donation to help offset the costs that come with each human on site, we would deeply appreciate the gesture. Your support helps ensure that Timber! can continue to be a welcoming, accessible space for families for years to come.

You can make a donation on our ticketing page if you feel so inclined.

 

Parental Guidance Suggested

 

While we love having children at Timber! (always free), we want to remind parents that we believe in an artist’s right to self expression and will never ask artists performing on our stage to censor their lyrics. With that in mind, we highly recommend that you listen to one of our playlists prior to the festival so that you can choose which artists you may or may not want your children to see and hear.
