Over the last decade, UTOPiAfest has evolved into a festival niche of its own. The experience features two non-overlapping stages showcasing multiple genres, in a friendly, harmonious family and partier friendly environment, with a distinct lack of fencing, overwhelming crowds, overbearing security, overt advertising, and nickel-and-diming that plague most music festivals. Though music is the main attraction, the beautiful natural setting has been the main headliner, with activities ranging from disc golf, mountain biking, hiking, workshops, and art installations.

In 2018, after relocating from UTOPiA, TX, UTOPiAfest found a perfect fit with the renowned mountain biking destination of Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, TX. The return to Reveille this Fall, in an all new, far larger and more picturesque area of the ranch, promises a renewed commitment to the family and community focused, quality over quantity, holistic experience UTOPiA has cultivated over the last decade.
Weekend passes will include free car camping and parking for the weekend, and with an unprecedented policy, attendees will be able to bring their own beer, wine, and spirits, along with food, anywhere on the grounds, as well as purchase Hill Country craft beer and wine from partners Real Ale, Zilker Brewing, and William Chris Wines. A Spirits Realm, featuring Tito’s, Desert Door Sotol and more is in development.
Another UTOPiAn trademark is the sleeping friendly environment, in which the only official late night programming includes a silent disco (several channels of music transmitted through headphones), and Goodtimes Grove, a ‘listening room’ style concert in which instruments unplugged and complete silence is enforced for the audience of hundreds. Free recordings are archived [here.](https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Smooth+%26+Demented+w%2F+Team+Goodtimes%22)

Is it encouraged to bring your own mountain bike? Or are there rentals available? I’d like to bring my bike if possible, but also…. it’s a nice bike and I’m not sure if bringing it to the festival is the best idea unless there are many other people who do this as well.
