Raising Steam 2022: A Walk-through
You arrive at the site, aided by a couple of hand painted signs to draw attendees in. There's a car park to your right and the access road to the camping field is off to the left. You park up and sign in with the gatekeepers, who give you the entry badge. You head inwards ...
Entering the venue you see the hall to the left and on the wall a list of provisional times. In the hall you find stalls are already set up and an artist is sound-checking as the lights are tested. At the near end is the bar but you head outside.
The first stall you notice is the one being run by New Futures Nepal (NFN), who are also selling band merchandise. Passing them you see some of the outside stalls and groups of people already mingling.
Between the stalls and the canal is the main camping area. To your left is the football pitch, which is out of bounds. Beyond that, in the far corner parallel to the road, is the camper van camping area for those who want power (small fee payable at the bar). Everything is adorned with prayer flags and musicians and performers walk round, draped with blessed silk scarves. You have a really good feeling about this weekend, there's such a buzz ...
