Fest larp

A fest larp is a very large, multi-day larp event, often a camping festival, where hundreds or thousands of players share one game world.

Fest larps run on big outdoor sites over several days, with players camping by group or faction in their own areas. The term is used mostly in Europe. Many keep the game running through the evening and some into the night, so the story can carry on while you sleep; each event sets its own time in and time out. Size makes the logistics matter: camping kit for the weather, food, water and carrying your gear across site. Every fest has its own rules, weapon standards and site brief, and those are the authority on what is allowed, so read them before you go.
