Help During the Festival
MEDICAL EMERGENCIES: If you or a friend need emergency assistance at the festival, go to one of our SIX medical tents, shown on the map. Be honest with emergency personnel – they are here to help you, NOT get you in trouble. If you see someone who looks like they need help, look for any festival staff members or anyone with a radio to assist you.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT & MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES: If you think you’ve been the victim of sexual violence or harassment, please report it to the nearest staff member or go to a Medical Tent for help. 

You can also visit Between Friends and Resilience for resources and information. Their collaborative campaign #OurMusicMyBody will have a booth just inside the North entrance next to Guest Services, and seeks to raise awareness about promoting consensual experiences for all in the music scene.
Hope For The Day will additionally be available to provide resources for those seeking information on mental health education and support.
