It’s time juggalos and juggalettes, from the one who brought you the House of Horrors last year, we present to you a terrifying intergalactic adventure, where you’ll experience firsthand what goes down during an alien invasion. As you step through the doors, you’ll find yourself transported to a world beyond your wildest imagination, where extraterrestrial beings have taken over and are out for blood. The air is thick with tension, and you can feel the presence of something sinister lurking around every corner. As you make your way through this intergalactic attraction, you’ll encounter a series of chilling creatures that are sure to make you question whether you are really still on earth or another planet. Come test your bravery and see if you can survive ALIEN ENCOUNTER!
LASER TAG BATTLE ARENA
Lock’n’load, Juggalos! The name of the game is dead aim when The Gathering offers for the first time ever, the classic arcade sport known as Laser Tag! After sunset we will be opening up admission to this night time attraction: a tent specially outfitted with an obstacle course, fog machine, and fresh lighting effects to serve as the battleground where you and a bunch of homies can face each other or an opposing crew in a match to out-blast, out-zap, and out-clap one another! Think you got moves like the Predator? Or does it turn out Stormtrooper aim is the best you got? The bragging rights are on the line and yours to win when you give Laser Tag a shot at The Gathering of The Juggalos!

MAD MOVIES TENT
Whether you’re seeking shelter from errant tractor beams or the ruthless daytime sun, we got the perfect place for you to lay low at The Mad Movie Tent! Just like last year, we’re hooking y’all up with a spot to post up, cool off, and zone out in a fully air-conditioned tent where we’ll be running a sci-fi movie marathon all throughout The Gathering 24 hours a day! Plop your ass on one of the many couches we have set up and get cozy while we entertain your eyeballs with certified genre classics and dope ICP content during intermission! Who gives you hook-ups like this? Nobody, that’s who, unless you’re getting down Gathering-style!
GOTJ’s Canned Food Drive

All donations are welcome & each ninja who donates at least five items will be given a super fresh collectible sticker. All proceeds collected will go to the Zanesville Salvation Army. If you ask us, anybody down to raise karma and fill bellies qualifies as a Certified Super Ninja and deserves a double dose of Clown Love for looking out!
MEDITATE WITH MAL (NO BULLSHIT MEDITATION)
Peace. Come kick it with AL MAL aka AdotWAKE, the baddest indie hip hop artist and meditation ninja around! This is for all you Juggalos who wanna get in on some meditation action without any of that new-age bullshit. AL MAL’s got your back with quick and easy meditation techniques that you can learn in a snap. Learn how to incorporate this ninja shit into your life in the first few minutes. No bullshit, just real talk and practical techniques ALL Juggalos can vibe with. Just meet up at the Info Tent any day of the Gathering at 10am, then we will walk to the pond. All you need to bring is your badass self, unless you wanna bring a chair for some extra comfort. This is a hella quick meet-up so you can get back to the other GOTJ freshness type quick after you get all zen like with your Juggalo fam. Peace.
KARAOKE!
Come sing your favorite classic karaoke jams live on stage at this year’s Gathering! With your host and DJ officiale – SayRaah!
PLEASANTLY OFFENSIVE OPEN MIC!
We all know Juggalos are full of skills they are willing to share! So come show off more than just your butthole at this year’s open mic! We are showcasing all kinds of talent from music to comedy, spoken word, even magic! Each performance gets approximately 3-5 minutes including any set up time.
Free Tattoos by Obscura
Worlds collide as Ink Nation joins The Juggalo Nation by hooking y’all up with some fresh, free of charge skin art! It’s Obscura by way of ICP, who have on offer 10 small Psychopathic inspired tattoo designs! Here’s how it works: At the beginning of each day, we will be taking names and phone numbers and you will be given an approximate time to come back for your tattoo. We will then text you when it’s your turn, and you will be given a 10-minute grace period to show up. This is a FREE hook-up so there is a limit of one tattoo per person and we will not accept anyone who is drunk or under the influence. We want to help you represent as clean and safely as possible. So, stop by to see us as we show love to our Juggalo family in the best way we know how!
Carnival Rides
Who’s ready to get topsy-turvy with it? Afterall, what’s The Dark Carnival without some free RIDES, homie?! Hop on and witness the Gathering grounds from a new perspective on high, as you spin, dip, sway, turn and rise on one of these tried-and-true carney classics! These bad boys will be running from 2pm to the close of the Intergalactic Stage each day, so you can even catch your favorite artists while enjoying some old-fashioned stomach-churning fun, at The Gathering of The Juggalos!
Welcome Home Parade
Welcome home, Juggalos! Come one, come all to an out-of-this-world parade that will orbit the galaxy around the Valley of Legend!! On this journey, intergalactic family will be throwing out space munchies, cosmic candies, and other surprises. Anyone can join, either on a solo mission or to represent your crew or camp. Line up with your banners, megaphones, and treats by the Info Tent on Wednesday at 3:30 pm. Blast off is at 4:00 pm. Don’t worry, if you miss the launch, you can always invade when it passes by your campsite! The voyage ends back where it started with a Big Bang and a Pow Boom!
