COVID 19 NOTICE

In accordance with current local guidelines, there will be no vaccination, testing or masking requirements at Electric Forest 2024. However, HQ encourages all members of the Forest Family to continue to take care of each other – get vaccinated, test before arriving at The Forest and wear a mask. If within 5 days of your planned arrival at The Forest you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or you test positive for COVID-19 or you should be isolating or quarantining in accordance with CDC guidelines, please make a responsible decision, stay home and do not endanger the health and safety of the Forest Family.

WARNING: COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. There is an inherent and elevated risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any public place or place where people are present and there is no guarantee, express or implied, that you will not be exposed to COVID-19 at the event.

ATTENDEE PROMISE & HEALTH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: You agree to follow event policies (including health and safety policies) and posted instructions while at the event. According to the CDC, older adults and people of all ages with serious underlying medical conditions may be at higher risk of death or severe illness from COVID-19. You should evaluate your risk in determining whether to attend the event. By entering the venue/event, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and confirm that you will adhere to local quarantine requirements and the CDC quarantine guidelines, available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html.

Electric Forest welcomes and supports the rights and attendance of all persons with disabilities that rely on the special skills of a trained service animal.

What we DO NOT support, and will not tolerate, are pets being misrepresented by their owners as service animals. Please leave your pet at home.

SERVICE ANIMAL DEFINITION

A ‘service animal’ is defined as “any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler’s disability.”

Emotional support or comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA and therefore are not allowed at Electric Forest.

Please note that all service dogs, including those from out of state are subject to local dog ordinances, which includes a valid rabies certificate.

SERVICE ANIMAL POLICIES

For patrons with disabilities who wish to bring their legitimate service animal to Electric Forest, HQ asks that you review and follow the policies outlined below:

• Service animals must be accompanied by the handler with the disability at all times.
• Service animals must be under the control and supervision of their handler at all times.
• Service animals are not permitted to be left unattended under any circumstances.
• Handlers are required to be prepared for, and clean-up after, their animals at all times.
• We reserve the right to remove and/or refuse access to any service animal from the campgrounds or venue if that animal is deemed to be a health or safety threat to festival patrons, staff, or other service animals, or in violation of these policies.
• All service animals must be credentialed by the Electric Forest staff (see the procedures below).

SERVICE ANIMAL PROCEDURES

All patrons with disabilities attending Electric Forest this year with a service animal will need to have that animal credentialed by Electric Forest staff before entering the main gate. This process will be performed quickly and respectfully by Accessibility Staff.

Upon arrival at Electric Forest, come to the Access Tent in the front of Camp Access. Staff will speak with you, record your contact information, and provide a collar tag for your service animal. Security/Staff will be on the lookout for all animals to have a properly credentialed Electric Forest collar tag.

Remember, service animals are allowed, all other dogs are not!
