New this year! There will be a small "No Chair Zone" directly in front of the Main Stage. Please follow posted signs to setup your chairs and blankets outside of this area, as well as off of important pathways. Please be considerate of your neighbors and keep your setups as compact as possible so guests can move about the lawn throughout the day.

Also new this year, additional speakers and a video screen halfway back on the Main Stage lawn, so feel free to setup anywhere you'd like to catch your preferred view!
