Is a work retreat mandatory?

Here’s the situation. Every spring the company I work for has an off-site event that lasts 2-3 days. They pay travel, hotel, and meals and workers are expected to attend events all day and some evenings. They make it mandatory and usually the entire company shows up. My question is: Do I have to attend? I’m not being paid for the time, yet it’s called mandatory.
