Hermitfest is a social experiment in non-verbal communication. From sun-up Saturday, to sun-up Sunday, participants are not allowed to speak. You can grunt, gesture, or do an interpretive dance, but you cannot speak.

Saturday evening, there is a stone soup dinner, and participants are asked to bring something to contribute to the pot. Other than that, all meals are provided as part of your site fee. Please feel free to bring any snacks or drinks you may want for yourself, or to share with others.
