To ensure that everyone who comes to the festival takes part in an atmosphere of informed consent, we strongly recommend that all participants attend the Opening Ceremony. If participants cannot attend the Opening Ceremony, they must attend the inductions on Sunday morning at 9am to gain entry to the festival.
