Kids and Families

Family Camping

As we all know, the vast majority of VibeTribe likes to stay up late! However, Gathering of the Vibes also hosts a designated Family Camping area — a place where families and chill folks can hang out together and set the tone. Please note that Family Camping can not accommodate RVs or vehicles 25′ and over. Send your request to familycamping@gatheringofthevibes.com. Space allowing, there will also be a limited number Family Camping Passes at the gates on a first come, first served basis. Please, alert our Camping/Parking Staff that you are traveling with kids when you arrive.

Kids Safety Registration

Register your kids in the Kids Tent between 9AM and 8PM. Children will be given a bracelet to wear during the festival containing your contact info. In addition, we will keep a list of all contact info in case of emergency. We will also be holding kids registration at the VIP tent for VIP Kids on Thursday and Friday. We encourage you to discuss with your children what to do if they get lost, how to ask for help, how to describe you, and any other information. Kids Tent staff will have all the information needed to locate parents.

Kids Corner

For the young ones, Kids Corner is a rockin good time! Led by Gabrielle Fugere and Andy “The Music Man” Morse, 2013 marks the 14th anniversary of Kids Corner at the Vibes. There’s never a shortage of activities, whether it’s painting on a community mural, listening to children’s entertainers, face painting, costume making, arts and crafts, dancing with puppets, or just relaxing on a comfy couch and reading stories. We know you’ll feel right at home!

Located within walking distance of the concert field, Kids Corner & Teen Scene are surrounded by beautiful trees and plenty of green space. Family Camping is situated nearby, as well as clean bathrooms. It’s the ideal compromise between a child’s need to have fun, and a parent’s desire to catch as much music as possible.
