Michigan’s Wildest & Most Unique Festivals You’ve Never Heard Of

There’s something magical about stumbling onto a celebration you never expected. In Michigan, that magic is alive and well—not just in the big festivals everyone knows, but in the small, obscure, and wildly unique events that pop up in little towns scattered across the state. Sure, people flock to Traverse City for the cherries and to Holland for the tulips, but what if I told you there’s a…

HOW TO SURVIVE: Secret Garden Party, 2017 Grand Finale Special Edition.

BEFORE YOU GO: Ask yourself: Do I really want to do this? Am I honestly prepared to spend the same amount of money I could spend on a decent holiday in a hot country on losing my mind in a field full of mud and lunatics whilst risking foot and mouth disease? If you answered ‘Yes’ then read on!

ESSENTIAL THINGS TO TAKE: Drugs. Cash. Something to hold all your drugs and cash. Boots (these can also carry your drugs and cash).

THINGS NOT TO TAKE: Things you like. Dignity. Children.

THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE: Booze, if you can be bothered to cart it around. Maybe a tent.

WHEN YOU GET THERE: Firstly, you realise that all the nice emails you got from the so-called ‘Head Gardener’ about how wonderful and liberating the festival is were complete lies, as it is surrounded by military grade fencing and appears to have hired a private militia for security. The prices of anything; be it a drink, a snack or a t shirt are priced in a manner that makes Harrods look like Lidl. Still, there are more important things to deal with; like where you’re gong to live for the next few days.

So, if you have taken a tent, go and set it up first. Do not - and this is very, very important - decide to ‘go for a few beers and set up the tent later’. It will never happen. If you have been on site for more than one hour and haven’t set the tent up, sell it (for drugs and cash), because it is now totally pointless.

Once you have either set up or sold the tent, it is time to start drinking. Your friends may insist on marching you around to different stages to see bands they think they once might have heard on Jools Holland. It’s pretty pointless trying to argue here so just follow them around till they get tired. If they ask you what band you want to see, pick one from the closest stage to where you are because you, naturally, don’t want to do anything as lame as watching a band at a music festival when you are still sober enough to understand the words.

FOOD: You might start feeling hungry and you can take your pick from any number of stalls selling unrecognisable charred lumps of roadkill for a tenner or - if you’re feeling in a baller mood - there is even a place called Soul Fire which labels itself as an actual ‘fine dining restaurant’. Soul Fire calling itself a fine dining restaurant is an exaggeration in the same league as Colditz in 1940’s Germany calling itself a Holiday Camp. Technically correct but you’d rather be shot by Nazi’s before you ended up in there.

Obviously, if you’re hungry at Secret Garden Party by far the healthiest and safest thing to do is to start taking loads of drugs to suppress your appetite. Whilst you may think that advocating the consumption of banned substances which have quite possibly been cut with all manner of household cleaning products irresponsible, I can assure you it will still be safer than consuming anything sold as ‘food’ at Secret Garden Party, a festival which takes the same view on food preparation and sanitation as Zimbabwe does to the democratic voting process. So just get all your calories from alcohol. Speaking of which…

DRINK: Generously, the ‘Head Gardener’ of Secret Garden Party (who is actually a hedge fund manager from Hampstead who has never set foot inside the festival), allows a limited amount of alcohol to be taken in with you on arrival. This is, per person, either 8 cans of beer (or cider if you are a scarecrow) or 4 cans plus one bottle of wine.

In other words, enough for your first couple of hours. Then you have to buy drinks from the various bars around site. Or you could just drink your own tears once you read the price list.

Interestingly enough, you are not allowed to take any spirits in with you. This is somewhat surprising because the Head Gardener himself must be very familiar with spirits, what with 3 of them visiting him every Christmas Eve, the tight bastard.

THE WEATHER: The weather at Secret Garden Party has two modes: The Day After Tomorrow or Mad Max. Torrential rain or nuclear scorched desert. There is no in between. In the former, your tent (provided you haven’t sold it for drugs or cash), is a sinking life raft, in the latter it’s a radioactive greenhouse for cultivating rare saharan cacti. Either way you’re fucked.

THE MUD: A special mention for the mud here. Secret Garden Party is in a field and fields are generally put in places where it rains frequently. This is quite useful if you’re growing carrots or peas or something but not quite as handy if you’re hosting 30,000 deranged loons stomping around who have all gone temporarily blind from substance abuse. Be warned: You can lose many things in the mud, things like your wallet, your boots or your dignity and your mind.

SECURITY: There are quite a lot of security guys on site because, for some reason, the organisers and Cambridge council don’t seem to understand that the only reason people can stomach going to sit in a muddy field for 3 days, listening to a line up that was cobbled together by the work experience kid at The Deaf Institute, is so that they can do so whilst getting out of their minds.

So, whilst taking your drugs, try and be subtle or at the very least be prepared to run away fast. The exception to this is if you’re a very attractive woman, in which case you could start chopping up lines of cocaine on the back of a disabled pensioner and still get away with it because the security guards at Secret Garden Party are almost entirely comprised of the bad guys from ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ and don’t normally get close to females that aren’t on four legs and in a stable.

(Do not go swimming in the lake. Look at that water. Just LOOK at it)

CELEBRITIES: Apparently we saw Prince Harry at Secret Garden Party in 2014 but as it was 4am it could quite easily have been a badger with a ginger wig stapled on to it. Despite claims from the organisers that lots of celebrities like to pop down to enjoy the experience (and oxymoron in itself), the only famous person you’re like to see - other than the bands playing - will be Kim Jong-Un who’ll be there picking up tips for his next labour camp. Speaking of bands…

HEADLINERS: Headliners are, invariably, bands who used to be big but can now no longer command a slot later than 11am at a respectable festival and have to come here instead. It’s where bands go to die. Still, they are usually quite good because they come on stage at a point when you are so wasted, so battered, so catatonically annihilated, that you will have left the realms of reality far, far behind.

Plus it will also be dark and you’ll feel less self conscious about being dressed like a 6 year old at a Frozen theme party, covered in mud. You will enjoy the set and tell all your friends they’re the best band you’ve ever seen when, in all likelihood, you got lost on the way to the stage and are watching two squirrels wrestling over an acorn.

If you’re not this wasted at this point then you must work security at Secret Garden Party, in which case congratulations on learning to read and I was only joking about the farm thing.

POST HEADLINERS: Once the headline act/squirrels finish fucking about, it’s time to explore. Head into the woods for some fun! You might meet some people.

OTHER FESTIVAL GOERS: A very varied bunch from all over the UK (West London and East London). Generally speaking, you should avoid talking to anyone you don’t know - as they will - until you’re completely off your chonks.

Once you are, you’ll meet loads of suddenly very interesting people who will tell you about how they come every year and how amazing Secret Garden Party is because there’s nowhere else quite like it. This is partly true because I don’t know too many organisations with both the vision and cheek to charge you £200 to sit in a field doing MDMA for three days offering only a musical line up and living conditions on par with a Siberian Gulag in return.

Still, despite this, your new friends will tell you how Secret Garden Party is their “home”.  Remember to smile whilst you consider how bad their actual home must be if they consider a giant maniac filled swamp a better residence than the place they get their post delivered to.

Graciously though, because you’re so high and they might be giving you drugs, you’ll indulge their nonsense and become temporary best mates. Before you and your new friends part, you’ll swap numbers and say that you’ll meet up again some day. You put their number in your phone using the best description that you can think of at the time.

LATE AT NIGHT: In the same way that scientists can’t tell you what would happen to you if you fell into a blackhole, no one - including yourself - will be able to tell you what happens during this part of Secret Garden Party because no one remembers. Like the black hole, all you can be reasonably sure is that you will, in one way or another, see reality get torn apart.

APPROXIMATELY 7 HOURS LATER: Disorientated, sickly and unable to rationalise why you ever thought coming to this festival was a good idea, you will stumble or crawl from out of some tent, stage or the woods across a sea of used balloon gas canisters to be greeted by something terrible and truly awful: Sunrise.

The last 7 hours have been a vicious, incomprehensible blur of self-destruction and the only thing you can work out with any good degree of certainty is how much money you have spent on making yourself feel so unwell. Your jeans may be ripped from end to end and you will not really care. All that matters is that you find shelter before the harsh, unforgiving sun exposes your sins and bad decisions to the world.

THREE HOURS AFTER THAT: Dehydrated and with a head that feels like an angry pneumatic drill, you crawl from wherever you found to sleep (under a bin, in a tree, in some strange Australian girls tent who talked in a really weird whisper), and are - in this brief moment of rational and objective thought - greeted with the true reality of Secret Garden Party; an open air lunatic asylum full of maniacs in animal costumes. You gladly pay £14 for a bottle of warm mineral water and then go and find your friends that are still alive.

As you walk around to find your friends, you will see your fellow festival goers - who last night were your best mates in the entire world but now mostly look like they have got lost on the way to an open air audition for TOWIE via the local Steroid clinic - give you violent, aggressive stares. Stares that are either the first stage of a south-eastern mating ritual or merely a prelude to having your head kicked in.

You, in turn, look to the ground, both to avoid aggravation and a possible unprovoked beating but mainly to avoid the blinding glare from their signet rings.

Having not eaten for nearly 24 hours, you chance upon an amazing restaurant on site called Soul Fire and pay fifty pounds for some burnt offal and a Bloody Mary which has less vodka in it than a Robinson’s fruit shoot. Then your phone rings. It’s your bank manager. Quite reasonably, he demands to know why and how you’ve just spent £1000 in a field. Ashamed and unable to explain this even to yourself, let alone him, you hang up and crack open a beer. Then another. And then another until you stop shaking.

Then, like some deranged Bill Murray in an MDMA-themed Groundhog Day, you do the whole thing all over again. Twice.

THE TRIP HOME: It’s now Sunday or Monday (you can’t really tell), and as the greenery of Cambridgeshire rushes past the train window on the way home you, for some reason, can’t stop thinking about how you let your parents down by going to Secret Garden Party.

Your phone bleeps. It’s a text message saying “hi mate, great to meet you” and is from someone listed in your phone as ‘Cunt dressed like a Pokemon’. You vaguely remember meeting them in the woods and block the number straight away.

You check Facebook and see that one of your friends has posted pictures of themselves in Mykonos. You realise that they probably spent roughly the same amount of money soaking up the beautiful sun and the hypnotic crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean (near the Head Gardener’s sun lounger), that you did by absorbing £10 cans of tepid lager and enough narcotics to put an Elephant into orbit in the middle of a giant medieval latrine.

Your friends will come back tanned, relaxed and rested. In turn you get home, pale and blistered like a sunburned Dracula, scared and in fear of a week of night terrors.

THE END: Alas, for the Head Gardener (and Masochists with a mud fetish), this years Secret Garden Party is the last. For whatever reason - most likely involving the police and a hefty offer from a property developer who wants to turn SGP Ground Zero into a huge housing estate - there will be no more after 2017.

But do not worry if you have missed out or can’t bare the thought of not going again, you can repeat the Secret Garden Party experience next year with minimal hassle.

Simply go to your bank, withdraw your entire life’s savings and then send a text to ‘your guy’ asking him to pop round. When he asks what you want, just reply with “Everything”.

Then all you have to do is wait for it to start raining and go sit in a park and consume all that you have bought in one go. Then - when you wake up from your coma - go for a stroll through Colchester town centre.

Goodbye Secret Garden Party, I will miss you. Sort of.

The don’t miss show on Wednesday has got to be Travis Scott w/ Flying Lotus at the Memorial Coliseum, if you like cutting-edge futuristic hip-hop. The Kanye West and Rihanna-collaborator’s bringing his autotuned croon to the Memorial Coliseum in the wake of last year’s excellent Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. Legendary futurebeat architect Flying Lotus will showcase 21st Century Soul, with the LA instrumental hip-hop producer’s distinctive blend of cosmic and free jazz and hyperreal synth. Rarely do the underground and the mainstream come so close. This is a killer double-billing with some of hip-hop’s most interesting sonic bushwackers.

Brand Guidelines (Logo/Usage/Fonts/colour palette) Festival Guide Location.

After creating the logo design I created a brand guideline which you can see below. The Showtime Film festival is inspired by the famous drive-in theatres which were invented in 1940′s so I want to bring it back to life as drive-in theatres are not as popular anymore. 

The movies will be showcased according to the voting systems (10 movies will be posted on social media for the audience to vote for) which will be held a day before the event. The voting will happen through Instagram and snapchat as these are the most popular, there will be at least four movies showcased each day.

Below is the brand guidelines, color palettes, logo alignment. 

Festival Guide Location

As the festival needs to be in an open area the chosen festival location in Hyde Park London (Near the band stand) As you can see below the map and the location of the festival.
