SUMMER
DOESN'T
HAVE TO END.

America turns 250. We're celebrating properly: three days in the Appalachian countryside with music, competition, camping, firelight, and the kind of camaraderie modern life rarely provides.

MEN-ONLY WEEKENDRAIN OR SHINESMALL BY DESIGN
A festival for dudes being dudes

One last great weekend before the season changes.

CHUDCON is part outdoor festival, part field day, part LAN-party basement, and part bonfire gathering that refuses to end at a reasonable hour. Come with friends or come alone. Either way, you will not stay a stranger for long.

Become stronger.

Lift, grapple, throw, compete, learn, and test yourself at your own level.

Return to Nature.

Sleep outside, jump in the pond, gather around the fire, and remember that comfort is not the same thing as living.

Find your tribe.

Only 100 spots means enough energy for a real festival—and few enough people to actually know one another.

Good questions

Know before you go.

Who is CHUDCON for?

Men 18 and older who want a weekend of competition, music, camping, brotherhood, and morale-building without corporate-event energy.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely. Meeting dudes you should have known already is part of the point.

Do I need to be athletic?

No. Compete, learn, spectate, or relax. You do not need to prove anything to attend.

What if it rains?

CHUDCON is rain or shine. If it rains, we get wet. If conditions become dangerous, organizers adjust intelligently.

What amenities are available?

Toilets, handwashing, cold showers, primitive campsites, nearby stores, plus optional food, camping gear, and hot showers.

Where exactly is it?

Frederick County, Virginia. Registered attendees receive the exact site address and arrival instructions.

Limited to 100 men
