Smudging in Our Spaces

Smudging is welcome on Festival property and in any of our buildings. We ask that you please do not smudge in stairwells and elevators (this is to avoid setting off smoke alarms) but all other locations are welcome.

Smudge Kits are available for use from the HR team upon request. All kits include sacred medicines (Sage & Tobacco), a smudge bowl and matches.

New to the area and looking to replenish your personal medicines?
