We will have 18 air purifiers scattered around the site. Please take a look to see what names have been chosen for each!

Any alcohol to be consumed in public areas (any area that is not a private hotel room) must be purchased from the hotel bar, restaurant, or other concession area per the hotel’s liquor license.If you purchase alcohol from one of the hotel concession areas, you must stay in that area to finish your drink. You may not wander around the event with an open container. If you wish to share your personal reserve, please invite people to your private hotel room.

There are changing areas located in Webster near gold key. They are pipe and drape cubicles that are unisex, there will be a small area for storing coats (at your own risk) in Webster. this is not a large item storage area, please keep that in mind.

If you are uncomfortable using these changing rooms, you may use the bathrooms as well. Please do not leave any items in the bathrooms.

 We ask that children under 5 are with a responsible adult at all times. Children between 5 and 10 should be within sight and hearing distance of a responsible adult. Parents/guardians are responsible for the behavior of their children. Continuous non-compliance can result in expulsion from the site without refund.

Minors may attend the event with an adult who is not their parent/legal guardian provided that the proper paperwork is provided. A notarized medical release and minor waiver must be signed by the parents/legal guardian and brought to site with the child.
