General Info

The moment you have been waiting for has finally arrived! Welcome one and all, young and slightly crusty, ninja and ninjette to
the spectacle of all spectacles … it’s the annual Gathering of the Juggalos, as we join together to celebrate 15 years of family
flava! Below you will find all the core information that you will need to know.

GOTJ Wristband
The GOTJ wristband that you received when you presented your GOTJ ticket at the front gate is not to be removed at any time
and is your official pass into and out of Legend Valley (you may come and go as you please). It is good for the entire duration
of the GOTJ starting Wednesday, July 23rd (at 7 a.m.) until Sunday, July 27th (at 6 p.m.). Anyone found inside the park without
a GOTJ wristband will be immediately escorted off the property. If you should lose your GOTJ wristband, you should report it
immediately to the Information Tent. This wristband grants you access to all the concerts, wrestling events, comedian shows, par-
ties, sideshows, competitions, carnival rides, autograph signings and much more at no additional expense.

Vehicle Passes
No vehicles are allowed inside Legend Valley (except for in the parking lot) unless they have the appropriate sticker pass placed
on the driver side windshield (Car, RV/Trailer or Big Balla Campsite). These may be obtained by presenting the appropriate
ticket (Car, RV/Trailer or Big Balla Campsite) you purchased online once you arrive or by purchasing one directly at the front
gate. These sticker passes allow you to park your vehicle at your campsite and once there, it must remain until the Gathering
ends. This will be strongly enforced to ensure the safety of all our ninjas.

Car Passes apply to vehicles ranging in size from motorcycles to full-size vans that are not towing trailers. RV/Trailer Passes ap-
ply to any vehicle bigger than a full sized van (no 18 wheelers) or any vehicle towing a trailer. Big Balla Campsite passes apply
to any vehicle RV size or smaller along with whatever they are towing. All vehicle passes are good for the entire duration of the
GOTJ starting Wednesday July 23rd (at 7 a.m.) until Sunday July 27th (at 6 p.m.).
Big Balla Campsite (20 & 30 amp) and Big Balla Campsite (50 amp)
Each of these sites are roughly 25’ x 50’. Any additional vehicles (besides the one with your Big Balla Campsite pass) parked on
your site will require their own Car or RV/Trailer pass and must fit in your designated area. Keep in mind that you may also put
multiple tents on your site as long as they also fit in your designated area. Big Balla Campsites are not numbered and will be on
a first come/first serve basis. These sites are good for the entire duration of the GOTJ starting Wednesday July 23rd (at 7 a.m.)
until Sunday July 27th (at 6 p.m.).

Parking
There is a 15 acre field located near the front entrance (off Jacksontown Road) to Legend Valley where you may park your
vehicle for free. There are also accessible parking spaces available for ninjas with a disability license plate or parking placard
that are closer to the attractions.

Camping
Once you enter Legend Valley with your GOTJ wristband you are free to camp in any of the designated camping areas on a
first come/first serve basis. These locations are marked on the GOTJ map located on the back cover of this program. Keep in
mind that the Gathering staff reserves the right to move any tent, vehicle or campfire to handle disputes or if they are located
on a road, fire lane or an unofficial camping area. There are some key rules that everyone must follow when camping:
• All tents and vehicles must be 15 feet from any other tent, vehicle, or campfire in all directions.
• Do not camp in-between any row of metal poles as these mark fire lanes that must remain open.
• Make sure to safely contain, maintain, and extinguish all campfires.
• All vehicles at a campsite must have the appropriate vehicle sticker pass placed on the driver’s side front windshield at all
times.
• Please be respectful of your adjacent neighbors, especially when it comes to excessive noise at night.
Tear Down
After the four full days of flavor are done it will be time to head out. Sunday (27 Jul 2014) is the official tear down day when
everyone will be expected to be cleared out of Legend Valley and the parking lot by 6 p.m.

Good Advice
The following are some good tips on how to stay prepared as you venture forth into the GOTJ experience.
• Bring plenty of food to last you the entire time.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
• Wear hats and light colored clothing while staying in the shade to keep cool.
• Sunscreen is always a good idea even on an overcast day.
• When camping make sure to bring the right supplies (tent, sleeping bag, rain gear, flashlight, bug spray, toiletries, towels, fold-
ing chairs etc.)
• Bring a cell phone or some way to communicate.
• Avoid any kind of substance abuse…know your limits.
