COMMUNITY CODE OF CONDUCT
Rigs & Reggae is built on good vibes, mutual respect, and looking out for one another. To keep our pier a safe, welcoming, and joyful space for everyone, we ask all attendees, performers, vendors, and staff to review and honor our Community Code of Conduct before the event. It only takes a minute — and it helps make the whole weekend better for all of us.
Please read our Code of Conduct here.
Here’s what you need to know during the event:
Amenities
Portable Toilets
Portos will be available near the camp.
Showers
Rinse off the festival dust and feel human again! Gridless Operations has hot showers at Camp all weekend — off-grid and on point. Come get squeaky clean between the music and the good times!
Garbage
There is a garbage dumpster at the camp for campers. Please be mindful that we do not have a garbage pickup so if you can pack anything out, we’d appreciate it. Otherwise, please be mindful of the limited dumpster space and flatten out any boxes or minimize bulkiness before placing it in the dumpster.
Recycling
We will have can and bottle recycling bins at center camp. Please place only cans and bottles in these receptacles, and take any trash with you to your van or provided dumpsters at the event.
Power
There is no power available onsite, so please plan to be fully self-sufficient with your own power supplies and/or solar setup.
Water
Water is not available on site and there are no water hookups on site. Please bring your own water to the event
Pets
We love four‑legged friends! Pets are warmly welcome at Rigs & Reggae—just keep them safely on a leash at all times. Please be a responsible pet parent by keeping them close, watching for other guests, and cleaning up after any “business.” That way, everyone—two‑ and four‑legged—can kick back, mingle, and soak up the festival vibes together!
Natural Air Conditioning
The Oregon Coast is a great way to escape the Summer heat of the interior and it can be quite cool at night and in the mornings until the fog burns off. Bring a sweatshirt or coat for the cooler evenings, especially out on the pier!
Sound
Rigs & Reggae quiet hours are after 10pm. The event organizers and staff reserve the right to tell someone to turn off their music at any time for any reason.
Music *will* stop no later than 10 pm on all nights.
Leave No Trace
This is beyond a leave no trace event, but a “leave it better than you found it” event. Pack out everything that you pack in, and if you see garbage or anything else lying around, pick it up. There will be dumpsters at the entrance to the event for you to dispose of your garbage.
What shouldn’t I bring?
Weapons, anything illegal, and/or a bad attitude. We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave at anytime for any reason.
What should I do?
We encourage radical participation on the part of attendees: share your art, host a workshop, offer a happy hour, and get weird/creative/expressive. If you have some interactivity you would like listed on the schedule, let us know.
Key Contacts
Before reaching out to a staff member, we would encourage you to group chat nd other people attending the event, especially for generic questions about the Astoria, Oregon area.
