How We Celebrate

This is a space to be completely and fearlessly yourself. Wear the thing. Dance strangely. Follow your curiosity. SSBD is a place to loosen your grip on being cool and let more of yourself out.

Welcome the person who came alone. Share the shade. Create space on the dance floor. The weekend gets better when everyone feels like they belong in it.

Remember the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Offer support to those in need. If somebody looks lost or unwell, ask them how they are. If needed, help them find medical or security staff.​

See an artist you have never heard of. Sit down for a workshop you did not plan on attending. Wander away from the obvious and let the weekend surprise you.

Listen to your body! Drink water, eat, sleep, take breaks, and know your limits. If someone seems lost, uncomfortable, or unwell, check in and help connect them with festival staff, medical, or security.

Personal space is real. Respect bodies, boundaries, belongings, camps, costumes, and personal space. Consent should be clear, enthusiastic, and ongoing. If it is not an obvious yes, it is a no.

What you say, the costumes you wear, and the things you do can impact those around you. Check yourself regularly, educate yourself, be open to constructive feedback, and when in doubt, ask.​

We stay off the sidelines, exploring the possibilities of being the best versions of ourselves. Put down the phone! Maybe this is the disconnect you need. Turn it off, leave it at camp, let it go. Instagram will still be there when you get back

Lake Perris is not simply our backdrop. It is our temporary home. Pack out what you bring in, protect the water and wildlife, respect the park, and pick up what others miss.

We're built on our community's creative spirit. Create, take a painting class, or explore participatory art. Just don’t deface or damage someone else’s art! Create with respect
