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.
