Camp, dance floor, and river all within a short wander.
An official festival map is on the way.
Coming soon.
Enter the festival on Friday, or the morning of Saturday, and set up your campsite. Kayak and canoe rentals run from Bone's Kayak & Campground. You will receive a boat rental link once you purchase your River Dance ticket. The shuttle to the drop-in spot runs Saturday from 9am to 12pm — once you're on the water, the float back to the festival takes two to four hours. Miss the shuttle, miss the river, so don't sleep in.
Tent, sleeping setup, river shoes, sun protection, a costume or three, and a refillable water bottle.
Your ticket includes dinner on Saturday evening. A food vendor will be on site Friday with food available for purchase. Potable water is available on the grounds. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. Pack some snacks to keep you going between meals and out on the river. (Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan food options available both Friday and Saturday.)
Plastic and metal water containers are permitted. No glass is permitted at River Dance, period.
Yes. River Dance is a 21 and up event.
You can swim during the float. Once you're back ashore, the swimming is done — no getting back in the water after the float.
Stay within the clearly marked, fenced-in festival area at all times. Anything outside the fence is off-limits. If we catch you out of bounds, we will call your boss and tell them what you're really doing.
No pets allowed. Please leave your furry friends at home.
It's a river valley in Tennessee in August. Plan for heat, pop-up rain, and spotty service. Parking is on site. River Dance is rain or shine. Should we need to cancel for extreme weather, tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
