The Attire

Revelers that attend Moonrise tend to show out in style of dress. Similar to EDC festivities, (read our How to Dress for EDC guide ) you will find costume wonders, Kandi kids, exhibitionists, the hippies, and the comfort wearers. You essentially should come in whatever makes you happy. If not your outfit, your shoes should be very comfortable. The grounds are all uneven grass, as it takes place in the center of a racehorse track. The event is rain or shine, and last year there was rain, so good shoes came in handy.
