Based on previous events, the 'Rainbow Gatherings' set up camps and kitchens, with working ovens, along with medical stations and a 'Main Meadow' to congregate for meals.

The U.S. Forest Service ordered hundreds of people gathered for a 'Rainbow Family' celebration at an unsanctioned camp to vacate the Plumas National Forest within 48 hours or face fines or jail time. The agency issued the order Wednesday to the more than 500 members of the Rainbow Family, known as the “largest non-organization of non-members in the world.

During last year's event, which took place in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, the gathering spanned 300 acres and included 23 camps, Markin said. Nearly 2,200 people attended during the peak of the event. This year's gathering in the Plumas National Forest is expected to attract around 10,000 people and has already reached 900 acres as of Tuesday, officials said.
