Going to a festival, don’t forget to take with you your ID card or Passport. Keep it always with you, it can help you in many situations.

Going with children

If you are going to the festival with your children, please make sure that they have wristbands with your number. In case of any complications, it would be very helpful in locating a parent.

ICE

Please write down telephone number of your family member or friend as ICE, for a quick contact in case of emergency. Thanks to that if anything happened your loved one can be informed immediately. You can also get a small ICE card with a name and contact number of your chosen person. Remember to have this card at all the time with you.

Don’t take any valuables
