FloydFest 26 - Daydream - July 22-26, 2026

Rules, Packing List & Directions

Welcome to FloydFest 26~Daydream! We love you, and we can’t wait to see you again at FestivalPark, located at 5826 Floyd Highway North, Check, VA 24072. 

Our mission is to be the best music festival experience of our time; to sell a limited quantity of tickets to the highest-quality event experience, bar none, celebrating music, art and life in an intimate, visually stunning environment.

To help achieve this mission, this website contains elaborations on the ticket types and festival logistics needed for you to make the most of your magical-and-musical mountain experience.

Listed below are the basic rules of FloydFest 26~Daydream. They are few and simple, yet extremely important to us and to the overall FloydFest experience, vibe and culture. Help us police their observance, so we can make this more than just a festival — let’s make this our FloydFest.
