You will be required to select a 2nd Choice option, as well, in the event that Setup or Teardown crews spaces are no longer available.

Setup Crew

Teardown Crew

Setup Crew is responsible for the complete onsite preparation of Festival. 

                               Setup Registration is Open

Setup runs from MONDAY, 14 Oct 2019 through WEDNESDAY, 16 Apr 2019. It will be run and managed by the Assistant Executive Director.

NOTE: Setup WORKEND is from Friday, 11 October 2019 - Sunday, 13 October 2019, and ALL MEMBERS are welcome to attend. This does not count as a replacement for your festival community service. The Ranch Manager will be handling the management of the Set Up WORKEND.

Those wishing to attend Setup (not just the Set Up Work-End) will need to select "Setup Crew" as their first-choice community service option during registration. Selection does not guarantee a spot! You will receive a separate email confirmation of your approval to be part of the Setup team, which will contain further instructions & information.

Setup acceptance concludes the same day registration closes (Friday, 4 October 2019).

If you are unable to participate in Setup after being approved, you will be expected to complete community service during festival.

Teardown Crew goes through after Festival and breaks down temporary community structures, doing a final tidying-up of the Land.

                                  Teardown Registration is Closed

Teardown is on Monday, 21 Oct 2019 and will be run by the Executive Director.

NOTE: There is also a Teardown Workend on Friday, 1 November 2019 - Sunday, 3 November 2019, which is a separate event to which ALL MEMBERS are welcome to attend, but does not count as a replacement for your festival community service. The Ranch Team will be handling management of the Teardown WORKEND.

Those wishing to attend Teardown will need to select "Teardown Crew" as their first-choice community service option during registration. Selection does not guarantee a spot! You will receive a separate email confirmation of your approval to be part of the Teardown team, which will contain further instructions & information.

Teardown acceptance concludes the same day registration closes (Friday, 4 October 2019).

Wednesday Entry

Some of our members like to show up the day before festival officially starts to get their camp set up and be settled when the events start occurring.

Wednesday Entry is an additional $25 to your registration.

Certain individuals are waived the Wednesday Entry fee, due to serving as sacred space coordinators, previous board members, vendors, and festival staff. Lifetime w/Event Membership holders are also exempt from the Wednesday Entry Fee.

If you are exempted from the Wednesday Fee and are NOT a vendor:

  1. Select the NON "+ Wed Early Entry" registration option
  2. Complete your registration, including payment
  3. Email help@magickal-arts.org to let us know that you need your registration updated to the "+ Wed Early Entry" and why you qualify for the exemption
We will update your registration to include Wednesday Early Entry and waive the $25 after verifying your exemption.

Workshop + Event Submissions

Our events are entirely volunteer run. If you have a ritual, a workshop, an event, or something else that you'd like to reserve space for or put on our Festival Schedule, please let us know!

Your submissions will get sent to our Festival Schedule Coordinator to make sure that all the details are just right. 

Please Note: Not everyone is guaranteed to have their events/workshops approved for their first pick of location and time. Our Festival Schedule Coordinator will be working very hard to tetris everything together to make it work as well as possible!

Work Exchange

We work very hard to accommodate the needs of our members. Our Work Exchange program is a way for us to offer substantially discounted festival registration in exchange for additional community service hours.

LAST MINUTE REQUESTS WILL BE DENIED.

Only current members of CMA are eligible for the Work Exchange Program.

All Work Exchange requests are subject to approval by the Board of Directors and requests are NOT guaranteed to be approved

Failure to complete your Work Exchange hours can result in denial of future Work Exchange opportunities and an invoice for the festival registration fees being placed on your account if you attended festival.
