The night before Paradiso feels an awful lot like a raver version of Christmas Eve. Many of us will have trouble sleeping tonight due to the excitement, which undoubtedly means some last minute costumes and kandi making sessions will result. While you’re dreaming (or day-dreaming) of all of the fun you’ll be having our friends at USC have been kind enough to release the festival map to plan out your Paradiso adventures. For us there are plenty of schedule conflicts for artists we are excited for, which means there will be plenty of chances to meet your DMNW crew out and about in the sunshine and under the stars.
The map alludes to some really exciting features, such as a tent for the Digital Oasis and some new carnival rides along with the beloved Ferris Wheel that we hope is always a part of Paradiso. You will also notice there are many water stations located throughout the grounds and we heavily encourage you to be drinking water early and often. We also encourage you to make friends with the lovely Conscious Crew who will be so numerous and happy, and some of our own staff will be sharing the love on the Conscious Crew! We also must ask one more time that you familiarize yourself with USC’s The Message and do your part to take care of each other, whether it’s sharing water or taking time to stop and chat with someone who looks like they could use some help. Our community is special because of the people in it and we want you all here for quite a while.
Speaking of the night before, have you made your Paradiso packing list and checked it twice? We’d hate for you to show up and realize you missed something so do be sure you’ve got everything you’ll need, and make sure you don’t leave a bag behind! Whether it’s in the campgrounds, the Wreckage, the Digital Oasis, the Paradise Main Stage, or one of the numerous carnival rides we hope to meet you and share some small and big moments with you all in one of the most gorgeous venues on the planet. We hope you keep this map handy all week, it will make planning out your adventure so much easier. Where on the Paradiso map will we find you?
