The only exceptions to this policy for this festival are an EMPTY Camelback, and a fanny pack which like all other bags, will be searched upon entry to the venue. This bag policy does NOT apply to our parking lot or camping areas. Larger bags are allowed in the camping and parking areas.
Tickets
If you have a two-day pass, you will need your ticket for entry to the venue on BOTH DAYS, so do not throw it away after it is scanned on the first day. If at any point over the two days you lose your ticket, we CANNOT re-print it for you. We encourage you to save your ticket on your phone.
CAMPING POLICIES
For the comfort of all campers, we have a limited camping capacity so we encourage everyone to buy camping in advance. Camping is sold by site - each site holds up to four people with a tent, no larger than 10x10 feet. Each camping pass includes parking for one vehicle. Your vehicle will be parked in one area and your tent will be in another. All tents will be together, away from any vehicles.
Please do not bring anything that you know is not permitted or anything that could possibly be construed as a weapon (baseball bats, sharp tools, large knives, hatchets, hammers, etc.). Not only does it put an unnecessary strain on our staff and resources, but it also holds up the line for everybody behind you.
We encourage you to arrive as early as you can after camping opens. Please remember that getting everyone in is a pretty monumental task, so let's work together for the good of the whole and do what we each can to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

- Bicycles, Scooters or Personal Motorized Vehicles
