Dirtybird Campout and Northern Nights Music Festival have announced their immersive Games Programming, Wellness Activities, and VIP Experience for their 2025 festival. From July 18-20, prepare to converge on the stunning Cook’s Valley Campground at the Humboldt/Mendocino County Line, where towering California Redwoods meet the Eel River, for an extraordinary weekend of music, art, cannabis, wellness, and community.
The newly unveiled Games Programming, a cherished cornerstone of the Dirtybird Campout legacy, promises to fuse community, creativity, and sheer ridiculousness into a weekend-long showdown of absurdity. Attendees aren't just spectators; you're encouraged to dive headfirst into the delightful chaos, stir up some friendly competition, and maybe even claim eternal bragging rights.
The glorious mayhem of the Games Programming will span four vibrant zones, including The Field, which is the classic Dirtybird games representing the traditional style with unexpected twists. The Giving Tree Art Car with variety shows and competitions, late night antics including drag performances at the Grove, and waterside revelry at the River. Andees can have a chance to ‘face off’ against artists and fellow friends, and other attendees in crowd-favorite showdowns like the River Race, Egg Toss & Dodgeball, or test your discipline and strength in Speed Walking & Tug O War. For those seeking glory, race to the finish in the Sac Race and Iron Bird. For the truly adventurous, prepare for outrageous activities such as Lap Dance For Your Life, The Great Bingo Revival, Lovebirds Dating Show, the Dirtybird Spelling Bee and Dirtybird Talent Show, Rollin’ Competition, and Highdeas and Beer Pong.
Beyond the playful pandemonium, Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights has also revealed its expansive Wellness Programming.

This year's offerings feature a dynamic mix of movement, mindfulness, and healing practices.

Find your grounding with Yoga in Flow Friday with Emily, Awaken Breathwork, and meditation in the Quantum Heart & Coherence Workshop with Ash Tiedman. You can also engage in transformational movement at Shake Rising, learn self-massage techniques like trigger point tension release at Release: A Self Massage Class, and explore rejuvenating bodywork including Massage, Cupping & Acupuncture, Gua Sha, and more.
