Nestled deep in a lush canyon, on land owned by one of the first families to settle Oregon, the venue holds endless acres of cushy green meadows shaded by ancient oaks and old-growth evergreens. There is a sparkling clear stream weaving through the length of the venue and past every stages, and ample camping for you and your friends.
Rooted and Ready to Grow
Emrg+N+See is elated to return to the same incredible location for the 4th year in a row…in the hills east of Salem, Oregon! This is the beautiful, magical locale you have been hearing about, true to the roots of the festival, and perfectly situated to make Emrg+N+See the premier Northwest outdoor festival of the summer!

Camping
Camping is included in your Event Ticket (tickets on sale now). We have very limited car camping on-site due to fitting our numbers in this purdy little spot. So, get there early.
We have added a new parking field to the mix in the field, adjacent to the pond, to accomidate for more of you to park in the venue. These spots are right there, easily accessible but you will need to seek out luxuriously lush camping spots elsewhere. There will be a shuttle to carry your gear down the little hill, if that is where you wish to camp, for your convenience.
In case of overflow, there will be parking in designated areas outside the venue with access to walk-in camping.
Warning: No Parking on the County Roads!
Any vehicles parked along the county road anywhere near the event site will be towed, at ridiculous expense to the owner of the vehicle.
RV’s and Busses are extremely limited. Get details about RV-Parking Passes($80). General Camping info:
