Chill Out at NCF
We’re ready for you to come to NCF and chill out with tons of free water and water stations, misting stations, extra shaded lounge spaces, fans of all varieties and — drum roll please — the brand new Great Lawn! Keep reading to find out how you can chill out at NCF 2025.
CHILL ZONES
The Great Lawn
Bring a beach towel and umbrella and grab a spot on the Great Lawn - NCF’s answer to Central Park. The soft green turf stays cool all day - plus it offers your tush a little cushion. It’s the perfect spot to picnic with pals on delicious goodies from our over the top Munchies Zone!
Hammock Heaven
Keep your eyes peeled as you find your way around the festival grounds for Hammock Lounges. Take a load off, take a nap, take a moment to enjoy a cold beverage. Hammocks are always a happy place to be!
HYDRATION!!!!
Free LMNT Sparkling
The key to any good day outdoors in the Summer is hydration. This year at NCF, we’ll be distributing free cans of LMNT Sparkling electrolyte water to the first 5,000 ticket holders on both days of the festival. Check out the 4 thirst-quenching flavors you’ll enjoy: Watermelon Salt, Black Cherry Lime, Grapefruit Salt and Citrus Salt.
Water Monsters & Refillable Bottles
We encourage you to bring your own water bottle to fill and refill free of charge at 5 giant Water Monster Dispensers located on the festival grounds. Not only can you stay hydrated for free, but you can make your weekend at NCF a little bit more Earth-friendly with your reusable bottle. NCF branded refillable water bottles will also be available for purchase in the Festival Merch Tent near the main gate.
Liquid Death
Pull up at the Liquid Death giveaway station and get your hands on Wiz Khalifa’s signature canned water.
Zero Proof Bar
Grab an ice cold fresh juice or mocktail at the all new NCF Zero Proof Bar. Enjoy rich flavors with the benefits of quenching fresh fruits and craft mocktail mixers. Want to take your mocktail experience to the next level? Request the Big Bong Yard Glass and use it to come back for $1 off refills throughout the day.
SHADED SITUATIONS
General Admission Lounges
Grab a seat in one of 4 General Admission Lounges on the festival grounds. Take a seat at a picnic table and strike up a conversation with folks sitting nearby. The GA Lounges at NCF are sure to be great spots to network and meet new buds.
Shaded Pavilions
Another benefit to the amazing programming in the Education Pavilions is that you can learn in a cool, shaded setting. Take a load off and tap into our education programs. Check out the schedule here.
Sanctuary Space
Do you need a moment of quiet to gather your thoughts away from the crowd? Enter the shade of the Sanctuary Space hosted by Students for Sensible Drug Policy. This space is a place for non-medical intervention and support. Sometimes we all get a little overwhelmed. If you or a friend needs a moment, visit our friends from SSDP in the Sanctuary Space.
BIG FANS
Misting Stations
Get a nice lil Spritz and refresh yourself from head to toe at NCF misting stations located around the grounds.
Hand Fans
Grab an Early-Entry pass for either Friday or Saturday and get your paws on a complimentary NCF hand fan.
Fans Galore
Visit the Festival Merch Tent and check out an array of hand fans, electric handheld fans, neck fans, and of course some cool NCF gear!
