If you partake, please do so responsibly and off festival grounds.

Cosmico is all about good vibes, great music, and a strong sense of community. We expect everyone to be kind, respectful, and look out for each other.

The vibe is expressive and fun—festival-chic meets whatever makes you feel amazing. Whether that’s a glitter jumpsuit, a cowboy hat, or a simple sundress, wear what makes you feel good.

We also love a good fit check! Throughout the weekend, we’ll be posting some of the best festival fits on our social media, so come ready to shine.

Wine Country Chic is always a good call, and hats are highly recommended. Definitely feel free to get weird and let your freak flag fly—we’re all here to have fun!

While we love open dialogue and meaningful conversations, Cosmico is first and foremost about music, connection, and joy. If you want to have deep discussions, we encourage those in the right setting—but the festival itself is a space for unity, not division.

If you’re staying on-site, you’re welcome to bring an acoustic instrument to play in your room. Some of the rooms even have guitars for you to enjoy!

However, please be respectful of the musicians and bands performing on stage—most of them have prepared their own sets and may not be looking for audience participation.

Yes, let’s be clear—no weapons of any kind. We’re here for music, dance, and good energy, not anything that could compromise safety.

Guerneville is an amazing town, and we encourage festival-goers to explore, support local businesses, and enjoy what the area has to offer. Some restaurants and shops may have specials for attendees—stay tuned for details!

Cosmico weather can be unpredictable—expect sunny afternoons in T-shirts and shorts and chilly evenings where you’ll want a sweater, puffer, or even a jacket. Layers are your best friend.

Cosmico is a vibe, and people bring their best “show clothes.” Friday night lends itself to a little Western flair, but whatever makes you happy is the right move. Expect fit checks and style moments throughout the weekend.
