Below you will find all the important information for this year’s Gathering of the Juggalos (GOTJ). This section does not cover the entertainment that will be available at the Gathering. If you have any questions, please send an email to [email protected].

LEGEND VALLEY

Legend Valley is a 130 acre privately owned and fenced-in outdoor music venue, located at 7585 Kindle Road, Thornville Ohio 43076. It is operated by a super dope family that has an understanding and respect for our Juggalo family. There is enough camping space at this venue to allow all attendees to camp directly on the grounds for a truly 24-hour experience (at no additional charge).

GOTJ Ticket/Wristband

You may purchase GOTJ tickets here.  Once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email that will contain a QR Code for each ticket ordered. You can then either print a copy of your QR Code(s) to be redeemed at the Gathering box office or simply show the QR code(s) on your phone. It is very important that you do not share your QR code(s) with anyone else; especially online. When you do redeem each ticket at the box office you will also receive a GOTJ program, special GOTJ metal amulet and GOTJ wristband at no additional charge.

The GOTJ wristband is not to be removed at any time and is your official pass into and out of Legend Valley (you may come and go as you please). It is good for the entire duration of the festival starting Wednesday August 14th (at 8am) until Sunday August 18th (at Noon). This wristband grants you access to all the concerts, wrestling events, parties, sideshows, competitions, seminars, and much more, at no additional expense to you. Under no circumstances will a replacement wristband be issued for any wristband that has been damaged, lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Car Pass

You may purchase Car Passes here. No vehicles are allowed inside the camping areas of Legend Valley unless you first purchase a Car Pass (keep in mind there is a free parking lot for vehicles without a pass). These passes allow you to park your vehicle at your campsite and once there it must remain until the Gathering ends. Car Passes apply to vehicles ranging in size from motorcycles to full-size vans that are not towing trailers.

Once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email that will contain a QR Code for each Car Pass ordered. You can then either print a copy of your QR Code(s) to be redeemed at the Gathering box office or simply show the QR code(s) on your phone. It is very important that you do not share your QR code(s) with anyone else; especially online.

When you do redeem each Car Pass at the box office you will then be presented a sticker, which you will need to stick to the outside of your driver’s side windshield and should not be removed at any time. It is good for the entire duration of the festival starting Wednesday August 14th (at 8 a.m.) until Sunday August 18th (at noon). Keep in mind that passengers must remain inside the vehicle while it’s moving (sitting on top of the vehicle will not be allowed). All sales are final. Under no circumstance will a replacement Car Pass sticker be issued for any that has been damaged, lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Little Balla Campsite (No Power)

You may purchase Little Balla Campsites here. With the purchase of a Little Balla Campsite (which has no power and no running water) you are endowed with a super pimp 20’ x 50’ campsite located in the heart of Legend Valley and close to the main stage.

The Little Balla Campsite also allows you to park one vehicle of RV size (no 18 wheelers) or smaller (with or without a trailer) at your site where it must stay until the Gathering ends. Any additional vehicles parked on your site will require their own Car Pass and must fit in your designated and marked out area. Keep in mind that you may also put multiple tents on your site as long as they also fit and follow camping rules. Each Little Balla Campsite will be assigned by GOTJ staff as you enter (you will not get to choose your site). If you want to have a Little Balla Campsite adjacent to a friend’s Little Balla Campsite, then you will need to make sure both vehicles enter the park together.

Once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email that will contain a QR Code for each Little Balla Campsite ordered. You can then either print a copy of your QR Code(s) to be redeemed at the Gathering box office or simply show the QR code(s) on your phone. It is very important that you do not share your QR code(s) with anyone else; especially online.

When you do redeem each Little Balla Campsite at the box office you will then be presented a sticker, which you will need to stick to the outside of your driver’s side windshield and should not be removed at any time.

Under no circumstance will a replacement Little Balla Campsite sticker be issued for any that has been damaged, lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Finally, vehicles with Little Balla Campsite stickers will be allowed to enter the Gathering grounds first, starting on Tuesday Aug 13th at 6pm. Only vehicles with Little or Big Balla Campsite stickers and their passengers will be allowed to enter at this time.  Keep in mind that all passengers of these vehicles must also have GOTJ wristbands to enter and they must remain inside the vehicle while it’s moving (sitting on top of the vehicle or trailer will not be allowed). If there are others who plan on staying at your Little Balla Campsite, then they will have to wait until everyone else is let in.

Big Balla Campsite (20 & 30 amp)

You may purchase Big Balla Campsites here. Please note that the Big Balla Campsites have been moved from previous years to help us quickly establish power to these sites.  With the purchase of a Big Balla Campsite (20 & 30 amp) you are endowed with a super pimp 20’ x 50’ campsite located on flat ground made of gravel, close to the 2nd Stage.  They have individual electricity outlets featuring one 20 & 30-amp for RV hookups, however there is no running water.

The Big Balla Campsite also allows you to park one vehicle of RV size (no 18 wheelers) or smaller (with or without a trailer) at your site where it must stay until the Gathering ends. Any additional vehicles parked on your site will require their own Car Pass and must fit in your designated and marked out area.

Parking

There is a 15-acre field located near the front entrance to Legend Valley where you may park your vehicle for free. Keep in mind there is NO CAMPING ALLOWED IN THE PARKING AREA! Due to fire codes, any campsites set up in the parking lot will be moved (go to the Info Tent for help locating your stuff if this happens to you).

Camping

Once you enter Legend Valley with your GOTJ ticket, you are free to camp in any of the designated camping areas on a first come first serve basis. These locations will be clearly marked on the GOTJ map of Legend Valley, which will be available in the GOTJ program, and on this website. Keep in mind that the Gathering staff reserve the right to move any tent, vehicle, or campfire, to handle disputes, or if they are located on a road, or an unofficial camping area (such as the parking lot). There are some key rules that everyone must follow when camping:

  • All tents and vehicles must be 15 feet from any other tent, vehicle, or campfire in all directions.
  • Do not camp in-between any row of metal poles, as these mark fire lanes that must remain open.
  • Make sure to safely contain, maintain, and extinguish all campfires.
  • All vehicles at a campsite must have the appropriate vehicle sticker pass placed on the driver’s side front windshield at all times.
  • Please be respectful of your adjacent neighbors, especially when it comes to excessive noise at night.

ada accommodations

We will be working to ensure all Juggalos have access to all the entertainment and services, regardless of ability. The following is a list of ADA accommodations.

  • ADA PARKING: Vehicles with a valid Disabled Person Parking Placard will be allowed to park in the ADA parking area, which is the closest parking location to the stages available.
  • ACCESSIBLE BATHROOMS: Located throughout the grounds are accessible port-a-johns.
  • WHEELCHAIRS & ADA SCOOTERS: Bringing personal forms of ADA transportation are encouraged for those with disabilities, including wheelchairs and ADA scooters. Please keep in mind that there are some unpaved roads throughout Legend Valley. Also, due to serious safety concerns, no golf carts, minibikes, E-bikes, or other motorized vehicles will be permitted under any circumstances.
  • ADA TAXI SERVICE: We have dedicated several 24-hour-a-day golf cart taxis to assist those with disabilities with getting around the park. (Please ask for the ADA taxi phone number at the Box Office or Info Tent if you need this service.) Please do not call for this taxi unless you truly need assistance getting around, as you would be depriving others who rely on this service.
  • CHARGING: If you need to recharge your wheelchair or any medical-related equipment, you can do so at the Info Tent. Please bring all the cords needed to charge your device; chargers must use a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit.

Info Tent

This helpful tent is staffed 24 hours a day by Gathering representatives in order to assist anyone with any questions, concerns, or problems they might have. The people working here are connected via radio to all of the event coordinators, and have the power to either help you directly, or get in contact with those who can. The Info Tent also provides the following other services:

  • Information (including event times) and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Copies of the Gathering ground maps and event timelines (while they last).

Medical Tent

The Medical Tent will be staffed by trained paramedics 24 hours a day to handle any of your medical needs. There will also be an ambulance on hand to transport anyone with a serious medical emergency quickly and efficiently to a nearby hospital.

Security

Anyone who needs to get a hold of security for any reason can either go to the Box Office (located by the front entrance) or the Info Tent. Security personnel will be located all throughout the Gathering grounds as well and will be there to help you if needed. Their purpose is not to restrict people’s fun, but rather ensure everyone is acting in a safe and non-destructive manner while at the Gathering.

Rules

The following is a list of key rules to help keep everyone safe and ensure a good time for all. We ask that everyone respect the property of Legend Valley. The family that has allowed us into their home are good people who have not only opened their arms to us, but have also proven to have a complete understanding and respect for our family. We also ask ninjas to refrain from showing up early to the Gathering. This has caused problems in the past, and we ask that everyone honor this request as well as the following other rules:

  • No selling of illegal substances or the breaking of any other laws.
  • No underage or excessive drinking, or substance abuse.
  • NO GOLF CARTS, MINI BIKES, FOUR-WHEELERS, E-BIKES OR MOTORIZED VEHICLES.
  • No sitting on top of any moving vehicle or trailer.
  • Children must be supervised by adults.
  • No vandalism or destruction of property.
  • No cutting of trees, damaging plant life, or hurting wild animals.
  • The speed limit while on the grounds is 5mph.
  • No animals.
  • No weapons, glass, or dangerous objects.
  • NO FIREWORKS.
  • No spray paint.
  • No outside firewood (Legend Valley will be selling firewood if needed).
  • No littering, especially at the campsites.
