These wristbands will be various colors that will rotate each day. There will be no charge for children under 12 years of age.
• All minors under the age of 18 will not be allowed to enter the festival grounds unless accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian. Unaccompanied minors under the age of 18 will not be allowed to enter the festival.
• Alcohol Wristbands will be required for patrons over 21 and will be available at a booth just inside the perimeter control area. Alcohol Wrist Bands will be color coded with a different color for each day of the festival.

The notice of policies will be distributed to designated schools for distribution and will be posted at entry points to the festival.
