We are aiming for a very low waste festival this year, so please bring your own refillable water bottles to use at the hydration station and your own reusable utensils, napkins, and plates if you are planning to eat!
And if you can, consider walking or riding your bike! We’re working on setting up a bicycle parking are that will be staffed by volunteers throughout the festival.
