At the edge of the desert the portal awaits. Step into a reality where mutant vehicles prowl the open wild. Where bright neon illuminates the dark Mojave sky. Where adventure yields the rewards of connectivity and collaboration makes possible the unique experience that is Teleport ACF.
Teleport Art Car Festival takes place on a private ranch in the Mojave desert, just two hours outside of LA. We are a collaborative project, produced by The Blackbird Bus, which brings together art car crews from all over for a unified event.
Teleport uniquely places the focus on art cars in motion. Our attendees are invited to explore these attractions in a freeform manner as they roll across the playa. Want to catch a set on the Blackbird Bus? Jump on board at the Teleport Bus Stop or catch a ride on the Vibeapple on its way to link up. Follow your ears and eyes and create your own adventure!
When you need a break from the party maelstrom head back to camp.
Expect legendary art car link ups, your favorite DJ's from LA and beyond, motorcycle races, workshops and more!

What is an art car?, you ask?!
An art car is a vehicle that has had its appearance modified as an act of personal artistic expression. The cars range from imaginatively painted vehicles to extravagant fantasies whose original bodies are concealed beneath newly sculptured shells, creating expressions of individual ideas, values, beliefs, and dreams. Some art cars act as mobile stages with integrated sound systems and DJ booths. Other art cars act as mobile lounges and art installations.
Teleport uniquely places the focus on art cars in motion. Our attendees are invited to explore these attractions in a freeform manner as they roll across the playa. Want to catch a set on the Blackbird Bus? Jump on board at the Teleport Bus Stop or catch a ride on the Vibeapple on its way to link up. Follow your ears and eyes and create your own adventure!

Playa Weather
The wind on the playa can be quite intense at times. Ensure your items are properly secured to prevent property damage or physical injury.
We recommend investing in:
-extra long stakes, rebar, lag bolts or tie line to secure tents and canopies as stock stakes are typically not sufficient for extreme wind conditions.
Please be prepared for any weather out in the desert. It is typically hot and dry during the day but drops to radically cold at night. Simply prepare for anything and you should be fine. We will update weather conditions as changes occur.
Teleport is a leave no trace event
- Pack in/out all camping supplies, shelter, clothing, food, and water. Any waste generated at your campsite must be hauled with you on exit. If you bring something with you, it must leave with you. Please make sure that all trash is disposed of correctly so that plastic bags, empty containers, cardboard, food waste, etc. do not get blown off into the middle of the desert. If you smoke, dispose of cigarette butts accordingly. Please bring a portable ashtray if you smoke. Did we mention cigarette litter is unacceptable on the playa? Do your part. Clean up.
Directions will be sent to
Ticket-Holders & Email Subscribers ONLY
- Plan ahead as the directions will never be posted publicly. Please do not share them publicly. Do not send them to people you do not know personally.
- Be sure to print a physical copy of the directions as the location has spotty cell reception and wifi is not provided.
- We recommend resetting your odometers “trip” feature after each direction to record your mileage instead of relying on your phone's routing.
- Do not rely on road signage or other discrete markings alone to be accurate.
- Make sure to drive safely. Always have a spare tire and emergency tools with you. The location is only two hours from LA and the roads are in amazing shape so we are not expecting problems. We will update you with any further changes.
- Portable Restrooms on site. Showers available by purchase.
- Art Cars, RV’s, UTVs, Off-Road Vehicles, Motorcycles, Wasteland Vehicles are welcome.
