PLEASE REVIEW HORNING’S HIDEOUT CONCERT RULES.
What time will gates open on Thursday?
We hope to open gates by 1 PM on Thursday, August 9th for 4-Day Pass Holders Only.
Will Box Office be open if I arrive really late/early?
Yes. We should be open from around noon on Thurs until Sunday midday.
Will Friday ONLY tickets be sold this year?
NO. To attend Friday you will have to purchase either a 3-Day Pass (Fri-Sun) or a 4-Day Pass (Thurs-Sun).
Will Saturday ONLY tickets be sold this year?

Are we allowed to bring alcohol to Horning’s Hideout?
The stated policy for outside alcohol is: NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL
Due to restrictions in our insurance policy we are required to enforce this alcohol issue. A variety of microbrews and wine will be available with proper ID.
*ID IS MANDITORY TO PURCHASE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES*.
No alcohol is available for sale outside of the amphitheater entrance. Although we are not going to be limited to a “beer garden” this year. Vehicles are subject to a brief search upon entering the premises.
Can I bring my dog to the festival?
We’re sorry, we understand that to many folks dogs are family, but we just can’t deal with the impact and risks involved with having your dog at the show. So we will not tolerate dogs in either the parking lot or the venue itself during concerts. Unfortunately some folks bring their animals to events anyway and leave them in their car. Animal Control will break your car window to liberate animals as well as remove any dog left tied to a car. All dogs found tied up outside of the concert site will be immediately impounded by the local SPCA THE OWNERS WILL BE CITED IN ALL CASES.
Service Dogs?
The only exception to this is service dogs that are trained for a certain task, such as a guide dog for a blind person. Oregon Law does not recognize dogs or other animals as a service animal unless you are blind, deaf or physically handicapped. They must be trained to perform a certain task, not be simply someone’s companion. What qualifies as a task are such things as a guide dog for the blind, what does not qualify is a companion dog.
Can I reserve a camping spot in advance?
All camping is first come first serve, including family camping and special needs camping. If you have a legitimate need for family or special needs camping, please notify the box office upon arrival.
Are there shuttles or festival provided transportation to/from Horning’s Hideout?
No, we do not provide any means of transportation to or from Horning’s Hideout. We suggest travel arrangements be made in advance of the festival. Horning’s Hideout is 11mi from nearest MAX (light rail station -(Orenco Station) NW 231St St. Furthermore, we strongly discourage hitchhiking as the roads are very narrow and dangerous.
Do you sell single day tickets?
We do not sell any single day advance tickets.
Can we arrive Thursday if we only have a 3-Day Pass?
Yes -Subject to availability, you must purchase a Thursday Entry ticket as well. $30 per person in advance, code provided on 3-Day Pass ticket OR on day of show purchased at Box Office.
Can we arrive Friday night if we only want to get a 2-Day Pass ( Saturday/Sunday) ticket?
No- tickets include camping and parking so Friday night would not be included in a Saturday/Sunday ticket.
Are there showers on site?
No – we encourage people to bring a solar shower for their camping area. There is plenty of potable water for free on site.
Is swimming allowed?
No – Swimming at Horning’s Hideout is not allowed during the Northwest String Summit.
Is there going to be a family camping area this year?
Yes! We have set aside a nice, quiet-hour, family camp area where we hope parking access will be close to camping. We will have clear signage. More details will be posted soon!
We have a vw camper van that we prefer to sleep and make food in. According to the online information, my van is not an RV so we can’t stay in that area. Also according to the information, we can’t “camp” in the parking area. So, my question is, will you have a van parking area that we can camp in that is somewhat level?
As stated in the small RV policy that we are implementing this year, we will save a place and a more flat area for vans and such where they can sleep comfortably in the vehicle. They will not be able to set up a camp next to the vehicle at all. They can certainly set up a day use area for themselves, i.e. chairs and such with the rest of the tent campers, but because we do not mix camping and cars they can’t set up along side their vans.
