After Insomniac was forced to cancel this year’s edition of Nocturnal Wonderland due to wildfires that continue to ravage Southern California, the promoter is doing its part to support members of the San Bernardino County community who have been displaced by the fires.
Adventure RV California, an RV rental company based in the region, announced on Instagram yesterday that three RVs originally reserved for the festival, which was scheduled to return to Glen Helen Regional Park this weekend, September 14-15, have been donated by Insomniac to house victims of the wildfire. Insomniac has not publically commented on the donation.
“We are heartbroken to see the devastating impact of the recent fires in our community,” Adventure RV wrote. “Thanks to the generosity of Nocturnal Wonderland, who has donated 3 RV rentals they originally reserved for their event.
The rental company added that it is “committed to helping as much as we can” and will personally deliver the RV rentals to Yucaipa Regional Park, as well as pay for campsite fees. Each RV will have access to water, electricity, and sewer, and will house one of three families in need. Information on how to apply for the RV housing is available on Adventure RV’s Instagram post.
EDM Identity reports that other resources designated for Nocturnal Wonderland have been donated to support area fire crews, including thousands of N-95 masks and five pallets of water bottles.
Insomniac officially announced Nocturnal Wonderland’s cancellation yesterday. “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the fires throughout San Bernardino and Southern California. We understand the importance of ensuring that local resources are fully dedicated to managing the fires and protecting the surrounding communities,” organizers shared in a statement posted to social media.
Three wildfires—the Line and Bridge fires in San Bernardino and the Airport fire in Orange County—remain less than 20 percent contained, as of today, according to the New York Times, and have burned over 100,000 acres of land, displacing thousands of Southern California residents.
Donations to those affected by the fire can be made via the Inland SoCal United Way and the Red Cross.
