Safety and Security

The event will be staffed by a professional security team and law enforcement. We do not expect any situations, but volunteers are asked to keep an eye out for anything suspicious or illegal. We request that you immediately share any concerns with a member of the event’s executive committee, security team or law enforcement officers.
