There is tent camping on-site as well for those who want to still enjoy the final days of summer weather.

Come out and have some fun on this final weekend of summer! The staff and organizers want to thank the generosity of sponsors and donors who continue to help the celebration continue on.

If you happen to run into Lost N Lava President Chris Dixon, make sure to say, "Mahomes Sucks!" to get yourself a handshake. Then, go wash that hand for at least 2 minutes using scalding water and soap.
