WHAT TO PACK LIST
PROHIBITED ITEMS:
Absolutely NO PETS allowed on the festival grounds or parking lots (service animals are welcome).
No fireworks.
No amplified music or drum circles from 11 PM to 11 AM.
No open flame, candles, campfires, or charcoal grills (cook stoves OK). HIGH FIRE DANGER!
No video recording of any performances.
No motorized vehicles (golf carts, ATVs, e-Bikes).
No unauthorized vending – if you’re not a registered vendor you may not sell or distribute anything on the festival grounds. Violators are subject to confiscation and/or ejection.

Additional items may be prohibited at the discretion of law enforcement or the security officials.
No weapons for costumes without proper Peace Ties. Patrons in full costume are highly encouraged. Any costume involving arms of any kind must be “Peace Tied” for entry and throughout the festival, and are subject to approval by security before being allowed entry to the festival. If you need more information about how to Peace Tie weaponry, a quick google search will yield plenty of options including cordage, zip ties, even ribbons. We don’t have a specific requirement for how you choose to Peace Tie your weapons, so as long as gate security feels it is adequate, all is well!

Hobby cameras, cell phone cameras and those without detachable lenses are permitted. If you would like to register as a photographer ahead of the event, please email Marketing Manager Kristin Maher – marketplace@nullkvmr.org no later than Thursday, 5/2.
