It’s a pleasure to announce that we intend to move forward with a physical meeting of our community in 2024. There are several ways you can register, and we offer some specials for those who register early, and for those who have never attended Festival before.
We strongly recommend that you register for festival early, and we earnestly request that you do so online using the link below. This will help us better plan for festival.
COVID-19 Information
You can find information about how COVID-19 will impact MMF here.
Information for first time attendees
Meals and camping fees are included in registration costs.There is a 3-day minimum registration required for first time attendees, as we believe it takes at least that long to “get/understand” Festival. Day passes are not available to first-time attendees. First time attendees will receive a $25 discount regardless of when they register. Mark/calculate it on your registration form to receive the discount.
Please read the FAQs, and contact us if you have any questions.
When to Register
We encourage everyone to register as early as possible, as it helps us plan appropriately.
Early registration is open until August 15th, with discounted fees. During early registration, $100 covers your first 3 day’s attendance; additional days are $25 each. After early registration ends on August 15th, pre-registration remains open and the cost increases to $120 for 3 nights, with additional nights remaining $25 each. Pre-registration ends on September 6th. Please note that you do not have to remit payment at the time of pre-registration. You can pay now, later, or when you get to festival.
Those who do not register by September 6th are still very welcome, but will need to register in person at the event gate when they arrive at Festival. The gate is manned starting at noon on the first Tuesday of Festival, and each day after through and including Saturday, generally 8:30 am – 8:00 pm. The gate is not manned Sunday through end of Festival. If you expect to arrive during a time that the gate is not manned, please pre-register so that you can get the combination to the gate lock.
While it is not required to pay at the time you register, it is strongly requested that you do pay prior to your arrival. The processing of payments during festival takes a lot of time and effort. Your paying ahead of time will allow the On-Site Registrar, Treasurer, and Gatekeeper more time to enjoy festival, and less time tending to administrative duties. Furthermore, early payment is appreciated as it helps us pay for provisions.
Day Passes
Day passes are available for previous attendees for $40 per day. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged for those previous attendees requesting a day pass.
National sex offender registry check
Starting in 2024, Earth Rising (Gaea Retreat Center) includes in its contracts with all groups (including Midwest Men’s Festival) the requirement that all attendees at Camp Gaea must be checked against the national sex offender database. Anyone appearing in that database as reported by nsopw.org is not allowed at Gaea Retreat Center.
How to Register
Payments
Those who prefer electronic payment may select “PAY VIA PAYPAL” on the registration form; an invoice will be sent to your email address. Alternatively, personal checks and money orders can be mailed to the registration address below.
