Pets
Pets are allowed at VanFest, with the requirement that dogs must be leashed at all times.

You are responsible for the behavior of your pet(s) and must ensure that pets do not cause any harm or disturbance to other attendees, staff, or the event venue. Owners are required to clean up after their pets and dispose of waste properly. Failure to comply with these rules may result in removal from the event without a refund. Additionally, you should be aware of any local regulations or restrictions regarding pets, including ensuring that their pets' vaccinations and health documentation are up to date before attending VanFest.

Accessibility
VanFest is committed to providing a welcoming and accessible event for all attendees. If you require accommodations due to a disability, please contact the event organizers ([email protected]) in advance to discuss your needs and make appropriate arrangements. Failure to do so on your part may result in a less than desirable experience, and VanFest shall not be responsible for failing to provide accessible accommodations if no advance notice was given at least thirty (30) days prior to the event.

No Liability
You acknowledge that VanFest, its organizers, sponsors, staff, and volunteers (collectively "VanFest") shall not be held liable for any loss, injury, or damage to persons or property occurring during the VanFest event.

You agree to practice hand washing and other routine cleanliness during the event, and you also agree to respect the wishes of others when it comes to COVID precautions.

Smoking
VanFest is a tobacco-free event. Period. End of story. It’s 2023, and the greater majority of people do not want to be exposed to tobacco smoke. There will be no consumption of tobacco allowed on the premises during the event. If you are caught smoking tobacco in any form, you may be asked to leave and will not be refunded. If you wish to smoke or consume a tobacco product, you must leave the premises to do so, and please try to remain downwind of the event.
