2023 Gate and Traffic Information
π€ Hey Everyone! We have a few changes regarding the Gate Process, Traffic Policies, and overall Placement stuff that we want to ensure all of you are aware of - as it will help make your experience much better! π
βοΈWhatβs New? - Glad you asked! If youβve attended Alchemy or Euphoria on this property, you may remember the small field where the Temple was. This field is now home to Greeters, Box Office, and Placement. Look out for our terrific Traffic Volunteers in their orange vests, they will help guide you home.
π πππ²π₯π’π π‘π ππ¨π₯π’ππ²: Our standard 2 hour policy to drive to your site, unpack, set up, and move your vehicle to the parking lot is still in effect.
π¦Ί ππ―ππ§π’π§π ππ¨π₯π’ππ²: Safety is our number one priority, in an effort to make our roads safer we are trying something new. If you arrive between 7pm and 1am you will still check in at the box office, go through Greeters, and Placement normally - then you will drive directly to the Parking Lot, where there will be a staging/drop off area. Folks will pull into a temporary parking space and unload whatever gear is needed for the evening into the marked holding area. After you unload your gear - you will need to park your vehicle until Sunrise. π
π ππππ-π§π’π π‘π ππ¨π₯π’ππ²: If you arrive between Midnight and 9am - you will need to park your vehicle at Gate, where directed, and take whatever you need for the night with you. You will need to return at 9am, to retrieve your vehicle and proceed as normal.
π With the changes to vehicle entry, parking, and, driving - we have created a series of ππππππππ volunteer shifts that will be dedicated to helping folks in our Staging Area and transporting Burners with a small amount of gear to a spot near their campsite. Make sure to sign up for Volunteer Shifts if we do not have volunteers for these shifts then it's radical self reliance.
π More details can be found in the Survival Guide!

2023 Survival Guide and New in 2023 updates
The 2023 Survival Guide is now available! CLICK HERE to check out the latest edition.
Thereβs a ton of valuable information including new teams, insight into things that are new or different this year and much, much more!
For instance, we will have a shuttle system to help our participants get around the burn. If you have accessibility needs and would like a little help getting a ride, then you can stop by Accessible Dang Awesome camping to request a checkered flag (not yellow flags, no stealing!). Wave the flag to hail a ride or ask a volunteer to radio for the Hand Job team when you arrive! Hand Job Assistants can help you move your gear and setup.
To request help in advance CLICK HERE.
We are aiming to make arrival, placement and exodus easier and safer for everyone. Please be sure to check out Gate, Traffic, and Parking and Gate Process sections to know what to expect.
Looking forward to burning with you soooooooon!

2023 POLICY UPDATE: Fire Safe Structure Materials
The city of Chattahoochee Hills is asking Alchemy to make sure that the fabrics used for shade structures are properly treated with a fire retardant by the manufacturer. If you are a theme camp organizer or are bringing a structure larger than a 10x10 popup for personal use or multiple structures, make sure to read the policy update.
Theme camps can apply for funds to purchase fire safe material versions of your existing shade structures:
