Is there a dress code?
While there is no official dress code, we strongly suggest packing closed shoes. Sand, crowds, and dancing don’t mix well with open-toed footwear, and no one wants sore feet while enjoying the music.
Good to know:
Emergency services including medics, police, fire marshals, and lifeguards will be present throughout the weekend.
Now it's time to have the best time ever! Enjoy!
