Do's and Don'ts

Do’s

• Dress appropriately (it could be hot, it could be wet, it could be muddy… don’t wear your Sunday’s best)
• Bring water! Its important to stay hydrated.
• Come prepared for a good time (this event is as free spirited as it gets… we do it for the kids)
• Bring ca$h. Vendors will be onsite selling all sorts of food, non-alcoholic drinks and more.
• Bring pop-up/ Easy Up Tents (It’s nice to have some shade. Don’t bring tent stakes - easy up’s only!)
• Use the free shuttles! Don’t drink and drive!
• Car Pool w/ a DD ($10 parking onsite. You CAN leave your car overnight and ride the shuttle home. Cars must be removed by 1pm on Sunday)
• Ask for help if you need it. We have Local Heroes all over the venue to help assist you throughout the day. Police, Fire and EMS personnel will be around.
• Come with friends. Party with friends. Leave with friends. Buddy system, people. No friend left behind.
• Have the time of your life safely, responsibly, and in the name of a good cause.

Don’ts

• No glass bottles! You will not be allowed to bring your favorite beverage if it’s in a GLASS BOTTLE. Bring plastic or cans.
• No FIRES! Its a sure fire (no pun intended) way to get thrown out of the party. We have a ZERO Tolerance policy on fires. DON’T START FIRES.
• No weapons. Again, we produce this event as a way to celebrate life and all the glorious things in it. Bring a smile and a good attitude.
• No Fighting. Period. Our staff and the hired Local Heroes will have none of it, and you may be removed from #FEST.
• No sandals! You will lose them and cut your feet up! Wear shoes! (No sandals isn’t really a rule, just a major pointer from the veterans)
• DON’T get dehydrated. DRINK WATER. All day.
• DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. We can not say it enough. Use the FREE SHUTTLES.
• DON’T forget why you are here - to have fun, safely and responsibly.
• DON’T get arrested. DON’T harass police. DON’T be THAT person.
• DON’T THROW CANS OR OBJECTS IN THE AIR OR AT THE STAGE. You WILL get arrested and charged. This has never been allowed and we will be doing everything in our power to enforce this. Do NOT throw anything into the air or at the stage.
