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.

HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FEST:

• Have Emergency Contact Info on your person and your phone lock screen in case emergency personnel need to know.
• Remember to stay hydrated and keep cool by visiting the Hydration Stations for free, cool, filtered water and cooling stations placed all around the venue. Remember to bring your own, EMPTY water bottle to refill and help Festival be a green and sustainable event!
• Protect yourself from the sun – take breaks and find shade. Sunscreen lotion, hats, and sunglasses are key.
• Bring hearing protection – we get loud (PRO-TIP: If you forget your ear plugs, stop by Guest Services to grab a pair).
• Bring a list of allergies and medications you take in case of a medical emergency.
• Dress for the weather. We’re constantly monitoring the weather. Keep an eye on the radar before heading to the festival so you can dress accordingly (rain boots, ponchos, etc.)
