Plan Ahead for a Successful Trip to the Festival
Rule #1 — Arrive Early. As we get closer to our morning and evening ascensions (but especially the evening), traffic will greatly increase and road congestion around the festival is common. Remember — To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is… disappointing.
Rule #2 — Pack only what you need. Keep your valuables at home – The festival organizers are not responsible for personal items.
Rule #3 — Dress for success by wearing light-colored clothing, baseball caps/wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.
Rule #4 — Obey the no-no list:
- No Drones
- No Outside food/beverages
- No Pets (except service animals)
- No Lawn chairs/blankets on the launch field*
*Lawn chairs and blankets are tripping hazards for balloon crew and attendees, therefore they cannot be used on the field. Lawn chairs and blanks may be used in the Stage area. Please contact us with further questions.
