Here you’ll find recommended routes to the festival area. 💛
The area around Ratina Stadium is mostly paved or otherwise even-surfaced, with some hilly sections. The stadium field is entirely a standing area with no seating available. We recommend being patient and allowing extra time for moving around, as the walkways may occasionally become crowded with festivalgoers. 
The festival’s safety team consists of hundreds of professionals, including security staff, first aid personnel, and Miten menee support staff trained in mental health, substance use, and sexual violence response. They are always ready to help — and even if you don’t see them immediately, they are stationed throughout the festival area. If you need assistance, you can find safety team members near the stages, the first aid tent, and the entrance gates.

LEAVING THE FESTIVAL AREA
When leaving the festival area, be prepared for possible congestion. Especially right after performances end, particularly after the final shows of the evening, many visitors tend to head for the exits at the same time, which can cause temporary crowding along the walkways.
