Strive Fest, like other intimate boutique festivals, operates an alcohol limit. Why? Because putting on a unique festival experience is a costly business. Festivals rely heavily on bar revenue to generate enough income to cover their costs and in short, survive.
The personal alcohol limit on site is either 6 cans of beer/cider or 1 bottle of wine (decanted into a non-glass container). No alcoholic spirits are allowed on site.
We kindly ask that you respect these guidelines. There will be a bar on site serving a wide range of cold and delicious drinks at a fair price.
Yes, you're welcome to bring your camper! We have a limited number of spots available.
Please purchase your Campervan Pass separately at checkout.
(No hookup available).
