Public Safety

Security and safety are of utmost importance. We work hand in hand with law enforcement and public safety agencies to help ensure the safety of our events. Because of those very same concerns, we are unable to publicly comment on detailed, specific actions which are taken. You will notice safety measures upon your arrival such as dog sweeps, bag checks, and walk-through metal detectors (magnetometers, open gates or evolve systems) for all attendees, staff, and performers.

Please note that we will implement safety screenings upon festival entry. Please arrive early and note the Prohibited Items list. Prohibited items will be refused upon entry and must be returned to the patron’s vehicle or disposed of by the patron.

In the event of an emergency, information may be relayed on the video screens, over the audio system, and/or through mobile notifications via the festival app. If you need to report an emergency, please located any public safety personnel. 24/7 assistance phones can be located in Camping. A list of phone locations is below or can be found on the Camping Festival Map.
Lot 4B, Broadway Ave & S. 406 Street
Lot 5A, Boardwalk Ave & S. 507 Street
Lot 7A, Park Ave & S. 705 Steet
Lot 8, Main Street & N. 810 Street
Lot 10, Main Street & N 1016 Street
Lot 14A, W. 1404 St.

If you, or a friend, require medical assistance please locate your nearest medical tent or alert a staff member. And remember: if you see something, say something. Flag down any staff member or public safety official if you notice something that doesn’t seem quite right.
