Know before
you go

Marfa Flats sits at 4,700 ft. Days run hot, nights run cold — pack for both, and bring a refillable bottle.

Free festival shuttles run from Marfa, Alpine, and Fort Davis every 30 minutes from 13:00. On-site parking requires a vehicle pass.

02What to bring

Layers, sun cover, a low-back chair, and cash for craft vendors. Sealed water and empty bottles are welcome at the gate.

03Accessibility

Accessible viewing decks at every stage, ASL interpretation on Sun Stage, and a quiet sensory tent by The Grove.

04The art program

Eighteen commissioned installations light the basin after dark, including the returning mirror field and a new sound-reactive dune.
