COME PREPARED & LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER, here are four easy ways to look out for yourself and those around you:
-
Watch out for your neighbors – if someone around you looks like they need help, check in with them. If someone is getting unruly, alert the nearest staff member. Keep an eye on your belongings.
-
Be considerate – this is a shared space and we want everyone to enjoy themselves. Keep the vibes chill and your hands to yourself.
-
Use the buddy system – the Main Guest Services Tent is the designated meeting point for lost or separated people. If one of your friends is in trouble, please alert festival staff – they will assist you, no questions asked.
-
Keep yourself and your belongings safe – be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your personal items at all times. If you find something OR lose something, head to Guest Services for our Lost & Found.
Food and drink
-
There is an ice cream store that will be open downstairs in the venue, and also various food shops within walking distance. Re-entry is available; keep your wristband on.
-
There will be a bar at the venue, 21+ patrons will be given a special colored wristband after ID check. Please drink responsibly and to keep your peace. Remember what St Thomas said : "About drunkenness we should say that that it has in itself the character of a mortal sin; for when a man without necessity and merely for the sake of the pleasure in wine, make himself unable to use his reason, by which a man is directed to God and avoids committing many sins, such an act is expressly contrary to virtue."
