FIREWORKS VIEWING

Unlike in previous years there will not be a separate area that you need to go to in order to watch the fireworks. Please do not attempt to enter at the end of the field as it will be entirely within the fireworks safety exclusion zone.  Fireworks will be visible from all areas within the festival precinct.

ENTRY

Entry will be via the main gates accessible from Woogaroo St.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

If it is raining at 7:00am on the day of the Festival and showers are predicted all day, or should there be moderate wet weather (moderate defined as continual and steady rainfall), lightning associated with thunderstorms or high winds that might affect or endanger life or property, a decision will be made by the President and Organising Committee by 7:15am on each day of the event to cancel the event. Local radio stations and the festival’s official social media profiles and website will be utilised to announce this decision.

WHAT MEASURES HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR LOST CHILDREN?
The lost and stolen property and lost children control centre marked on the event map. Any steward or member of the event staff finding (or being presented with) a lost person or child will immediately contact security control and pass a description of the person, their name, location and any other relevant information. Any PA announcements will avoid using children’s names. Instead a request will be made for named parents or “anyone who is missing a member of their party” to present themselves to security. It is also a good idea to give your child a card with your contact details on it or write a contact number on your child’s arm.

IS THE FESTIVAL ACCESSIBLE

The entire festival precinct is accessible with ramps and directional signs. We would be happy to have our volunteer team make sure you have a comfortable visit at any of our festival precincts if you need assistance. Please email us ahead or time or visit our event control centre on the day and we will endeavour to help.

LOST PROPERTY
