What to know before you go.
Participation is organized around event tickets, designated changing rooms and photographer registration. Ask before photographing people and follow the permitted-area map as ordinary city activity continues around the festival. The Friday-night event has separate eligibility rules: participants must be at least 18, and high-school students are excluded. Check the rules for the programme you intend to attend.
Event dates, access and crowd controls can change. Verify with the organizer before committing non-refundable travel.
