Plan Ahead for a Successful Trip to the Festival
Rule #1 — Arrive Early. As we get closer to our morning and evening ascensions (but especially the evening), traffic will greatly increase and road congestion around the festival is common. Remember — To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is… disappointing.
Rule #2 — Pack only what you need. Keep your valuables at home – The festival organizers are not responsible for personal items.
Rule #3 — Dress for success by wearing light-colored clothing, baseball caps/wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.
Rule #4 — Obey the no-no list:
- No Drones
- No Outside food/beverages
- No Pets (except service animals)
Enjoy The Festival!
