As always, Bonnaroo ensures that you have the comfiest sleeping arrangements possible. From car and RV parking to the epic Le Bon TentsBonnaroo has something for everyone. The Le Bon Tents get more exciting each year, and this year there are two options: Souvenir Tents and Comfort Tents. Known as “Tent City”, the Souvenir Tents offer festival goers the chance to purchase their own accommodation, which includes the tent and a ton of Bonnaroo souvenirs. The Comfort Tents include cots and…wait for it…electricity! Groop   Camping is also available, which ensures you and your squad are all together for the big festival. If you can’t imagine yourself catching any rest on the festival grounds, don’t worry because shuttles run to and from hotels and different regions nearby.

Food

Part of the festival experience is finding delicious and (sometimes!) healthy foods. Bonaroo has one of the most unique choice selections when it comes to festival food, offering festival goers over 125 different options. From tacos to hamburgers, gourmet pizza, and vegetarian options, there is truly something to suit everyones needs at Bonnaroo. To get you more excited, Bonnaroo offer festival goers the chance to eat at the iconic Hamageddon, a bacon lovers paradise, as well as the Planet Roo Cafe, a 100% waste free organic cafe. With too many delicious and next level food options to talk about, we will mention the BonnaROOTS Community Dinners. These dinners are more like sunset feasts and help raise thousands of dollars for charity through good food, delicious drinks, and great new friends. Occasionally you will be joined by founders, artists, and more enlightening individuals.

Activities

From parades to giant yoga workouts, Bonnaroo seems to have everything covered. The site offers chill out spaces, art exhibits, giant workout sessions, races, landmarks, human sized board games, kids events, and much, much more. One of our personal favourites is The Grove, which is arguably the most perfect chill out space for miles around. The Grove features places to chill amongst the trees, with hammocks, artwork, pillows, and a selection of other comfortable chill items. If you’re lucky enough to be chilling in The Grove at particular times, random performances take place, ensuring you get up close and personal with your favourite artists and bands.
