Prohibited Items

Know before you go — safety standards, zero tolerance policy, and what to leave at home.

Know Before You Go

Safety is simple. Respect the community, respect each other, and leave the prohibited items at home. Everyone here, attendees, vendors, staff, volunteers is held to the same standard. We take that seriously so everyone has a good time.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Zero tolerance means zero tolerance. Threats, violence, substance abuse, underage drinking, disrespect of staff or fellow attendees, none of it has a place here. Anyone who can’t get behind that will be asked to leave. No refunds, no exceptions.

Prohibited Items

A few that surprise people: no outside food or drink, no professional cameras, no pets unless a service animal as identified by the ADA, and no re-entry once you leave. Everything confiscated stays confiscated.
