Hello everyone!
It looks like this list has become a depository of URLs that contain the
word Libertaria. Unfortunately, in time many of the webpages are
changed, removed or otherwise unaccessible. Therefore, I'll try and post
the essence of such pages here.
Here a nice one - Libertaria was the name of a festival back in 1999. I
found out about this through a column by Silke Tudor, at:

This item is only for folks without jobs or other absurd obligations:
Throw your sleeping bag, a bottle of bug spray, and several cases of
beer into your car and drive. You have nothing to lose, and if you
follow directions you might reach the promised land of Libertaria, where
wild punks and native geeks run free; where dogs and rats splash
together in the East Park Reservoir; where puppet shows and independent
movies appear on tree trunks, and spontaneous martial arts exhibitions
erupt around bonfires; where no less than 100 very loud rock bands
perform very loud rock music on the lake bank; where drunken jigs on car
hoods are tolerated but drunk driving is not. The weeklong, outdoor
music-and-camping debacle is presented by East Bay Geekfest mavens and
the cityside Pirate Punx, both groups committed to putting on free,
all-ages, often illegal punk rock shows. There will be performances by
folks from all over the West Coast including our own Barfeeders, Old
Grandad, Phoenix Thunderstone, and Bobby Joe Ebola & the Children
MacNuggits. The campsite is two hours northwest of Sacramento, but once
you get there everything's free: camping, swimming, entertainment, and
vegan gruel two times daily. Libertaria will be held Wednesday through
Wednesday, June 16-23; call (510) BAD-SMUT for directions.
[. . .]
If you couldn't make it all the way to Libertaria, but the idea of hard
rock without walls gets your blood pumping, might I suggest Tidal Wave
II, an outdoor metal festival held in a picturesque bayside location
near the Ferry Building.

Cheers!
