Joshua Tree and the Hi-desert are home to amazing airbnbs and hotels. The Super 8 in Yucca Valley offers great discounts to Bhakti Fest attendees, but we have a plethora of others in the area as well! Yucca Valley and 29 Palms are your nearest sources for groceries, Wal-mart, Home Depot, etc.

Be prepared for anything! In mid September, highs can be around 90°F and lows average around 66°F.

Taking care of your body is important to enjoying the festival as much as possible. Bring lots of water, a hat, sunscreen, and scarf or bandana to wet and keep around your neck (don’t underestimate how much that helps!)

We will have water refill stations and areas to cool down on site.
