More than just a party.

Mushroom Valley is more than just a party, it is a community. A place where you can grow, learn and connect with other like minded people. A place where you can come and be revitalised and re-energised to go out and take on the "real" world. There are plenty of workshops for the young and old in the healing village as well as massage and reiki. Over the weekend the music will range through many genres.

What we are passionate about

At MV Productions, one of our core values is creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone — from families to festival-goers of all ages.

We take this commitment seriously, with a dedicated team of security and medical professionals onsite at all times. You'll also find Harm Minimisation workshops, friendly Care Pixies, Camp Guardians, and volunteer lifeguards ready to support you throughout the event.

We believe in community care — looking out for one another and stepping in when someone needs help. If you see someone who appears unwell or in distress, please don’t hesitate to alert a staff member or volunteer. We’re all in this together.

Guidelines, Rules & Etiquette

Mushroom Valley has grown into far more than a music festival — it's a community, and it's our home. Thank you for joining us for another edition. We hope this week is a magic one.

While you're here, please respect yourself, the people around you, and the land that holds us all. Mushroom Valley is a place of love, openness and connection — these guidelines are here to help keep it that way.

Site Rules & Respecting Country

  • Leave no trace. Whatever you bring in, take home with you. Use the recycling and composting stations provided, and follow our single-use plastic guidelines.

  • Total fire ban on site. No open fires, campfires, fireworks, incense, or barbecues anywhere on the property — we're on forested land in the Whitsundays dry season, and fire risk is taken extremely seriously. Gas cookers may be permitted in designated camping areas only, with prior approval — ask at the info tent.

  • No renegade stages or sound systems. All sound on site is programmed and licensed — please don't bring your own rig (this includes partyboxes).

  • No generators. For noise, safety and environmental reasons, personal generators aren't permitted anywhere on site.

  • No pets. This is a strict rule, it is no place for your pet!

  • Protect the natural environment. This is precious, sacred land with wildlife who call it home too — please don't damage vegetation, infrastructure, or waterways.

  • Wristbands stay on. They're your ticket to being here — don't tamper with or remove yours. Lost or damaged? Head to the info tent.

    Anyone found breaking these rules may be asked to leave the festival without a refund, and repeat and serious breaches may result in being banned from future Mushroom Valley events.

Respectful Conduct & Crowd Behaviour

  • Look out for one another. If someone falls or is struggling in a crowd, stop and help them up.

  • Read the room. Be aware of your surroundings — avoid pushing in, blocking sightlines, or crowding the front of a stage without reason.

  • Respect personal space and boundaries. Not everyone wants a hug, a dance partner, or a chat, and that's okay. Check in, don't assume.

  • Consent matters, always. Unwanted touching, comments or attention of any kind will not be tolerated. If you see something, say something — to the person, or to our team.

  • Ask before you shoot. Be mindful when photographing others, especially close-ups — ask first, and respect a no.

  • Zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination or aggression. Mushroom Valley is for everyone, and we hold that seriously.

Self-Care & Awareness

  • Check in with yourself. Notice your energy levels, and don't be afraid to tap out for a while.

  • Look after your body and mind. Make use of on-site facilities like quiet spaces or yoga sessions when you need a reset.

  • Stay hydrated — free water refill points are located around the site.

  • Stay nourished. Grab something from our market stalls, or bring your own food to keep your energy up.

  • Recharge. Nap, journal, swim, sit in on a workshop — whatever fills your cup. How you look after yourself shapes everyone else's experience too.

  • Cool down when you need to. Duck into the shade, or head down to the creek to cool off.

Health & Safety

  • Conscious Nest — our harm reduction team, offering creative therapy, safe spaces, and peer support. If you're overwhelmed, need a quiet moment, or just want to talk something through, this is your space. No judgement, ever.

  • Security & Medical Services — on hand for your safety around the clock. If anything happens, or you need to report a concern, our team is here to listen and help — day or night. Find us near the top of Treazy Lane (River Stage Road), by the main dance floor entrance.

  • BMFHQ (formerly Blow Me First) — a free, voluntary self-testing service offering breath and saliva swabs, so you can make an informed call about your own state before you get behind the wheel. Completely confidential, no judgement. Find them at the front gate:

  • Sunday: 9am – 5pm

  • Monday: 7:30am – 2pm

Look after each other, look after this place, and let's make this one to remember. 🍄

Leave No Trace

Respect the Land – Reduce Your Waste

Each year, Mushroom Valley grows stronger — and so do you. Let’s keep improving together by doing a few simple things to protect this beautiful space:

  • Pack Smart: Only bring what you need and remember, you must take everything home with you. Plan ahead to reduce your waste before you even arrive.

  • Sort Your Waste: Set up separate bins or bags at your camp for:

    • Compost

    • 10c refundables (we’ll collect these!)

    • Recyclables

    • General waste

    • Don’t mix food scraps with other rubbish — it creates harmful gases and mess.

  • Stay Hydrated Sustainably: Bring water in large reusable containers. Avoid single-use anything! Stainless steel bottles are available at the Info Tent and the front gate.

  • Bin Your Butts: Cigarette butts are the most common waste we collect. They don’t break down. Use butt bins — even in camp — and be a responsible smoker.

  • Make Eco Bricks: Stuff clean hard plastics into a bottle to create compact “eco bricks” for Earthship-style building (yes, it’s a thing!). Collect soft plastics and take them to RedCycle bins at Coles or Woolies after the festival.

  • Bring Reusables: Plate, bowl, cup, mug, cutlery, straw — bring your own. Food vendors accept them, and it cuts down on single-use waste (especially coffee cups!).

  • Leave No Trace: Do a final sweep (aka an “emu parade”) before you leave. Pick up everything! Butts, pegs, sequins, string, feathers, wrappers etc. Let’s protect the wildlife that lives here.

  • Dispose Responsibly: Take your rubbish with you and dispose of it properly — at home or at a recycling centre. Never dump it!

If we each take care of our own footprint, we all leave the land better than we found it. Let’s do this together. 🌱
