We’d like to let you know that photos, videos, and audio recordings may be captured throughout the festival grounds.
By entering the event, you’re giving your okay for us to use any images or recordings that include you—whether it’s for sharing the joy of the festival on our website, social media, or in future promotional materials.
This means you won’t be able to request approval or compensation for use of these recordings, and you’re waiving any related claims (like privacy or publicity rights).
We do this so we can continue to celebrate and share the magic of this special gathering for years to come. If being part of our visual story doesn’t feel right to you, we understand—may the music find you where you are, and we’ll keep a place for you in future circles
