PUBLIC SAFETY
Security and safety are of utmost importance. We work hand in hand with law enforcement and public safety agencies to help ensure the safety of our events. Because of those very same concerns, we are unable to publicly comment on detailed, specific actions which are taken. Some of the security measures you will notice upon your arrival such as bag checks, walk-through metal detectors for all attendees, staff and performers.
Please note that we will implement searches upon festival entry. Please arrive early and note the Prohibited Items list, these will be confiscated / surrendered upon entry. In the event of an emergency, information may be relayed on the video screens, over the audio system, and/or through mobile notifications. If you, or a friend, require medical assistance please locate your nearest medical tent or alert a staff member.
