KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Elements is a fully 18+ camping festival, and a little prep goes a long way — passes ship to your door, camping is walk-in from your car, and the party runs well past midnight. Here's the short version of what to expect.

LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER

Elements expressly allows factory-sealed nasal Narcan (naloxone) — up to two per person — in both the campgrounds and the venue. It's small, it's legal, and it can save a life on the worst night of someone else's. Consider carrying one, and check out our guide to rave harm-reduction organizations to learn more.

Dates, Hours & Entry
  • Runs Friday Aug 7 through Sunday Aug 9, 2026 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA.
  • Want an extra night? Thursday Aug 6 arrival is available with an Early Arrival Pass.
  • The main stage runs roughly noon to 2 AM each day, with late-night stages keeping the music going after.
  • Strictly 18+ — bring a government-issued photo ID or you won't get in.
Camping
  • Everything is on-site: car camping, per-person tent-only camping, RV spots, glamping, and Vibe Villages — group camping for crews of 15 or more.
  • Campgrounds sit a 5–15 minute walk from the venue. Bikes are fine around the campgrounds but can't come inside the venue.
  • Small propane grills are allowed for camp cooking; charcoal, open flames, and generators in general camping are not.
Gates, Passes & Arrival
  • Northside camping enters via Gate 3 (1234 Long Pond Rd); Southside camping via Gate 7 (1 Hulman Dr); single-day passes use Gate 6.
  • Passes are physical wristbands plus vehicle decals, shipped before the festival — a QR code on your phone alone won't get you through the gate.
  • Pass never arrived? There's an offsite box office at the West End Fair Association in Gilbert, PA.
Bags & Good Things to Bring
  • Venue-approved bags: hydration packs, small backpacks, 12″×12″ drawstrings, fanny packs, and purses — max two main compartments plus one small one. Large bags, duffels, and suitcases stay at camp.
  • Smart packing: earplugs, a factory-sealed water bottle (up to 1L), non-aerosol sunblock (3 oz or less), and a hammock for the chill zones.
Leave at Home
  • No glass anywhere, and no outside food or drink inside the venue.
  • No illegal substances or paraphernalia, drones, laser pointers, or aerosols.
  • No professional cameras (detachable lenses), no pets, and no coolers or umbrellas inside the venue.
Totem Rules
  • Max 10 feet tall, built from lightweight material like foam or PVC — no solid metal.
  • Poles must be under 1 inch in diameter, and inflatables come in deflated.
  • A decorated pool noodle is a classic that always makes it through.
Alcohol (Campgrounds Only, 21+)
  • Each person 21+ can bring one case of beer or seltzer, or one box of wine, into the campgrounds.
  • No glass and no hard liquor — and none of it comes into the venue.
