Permitted and prohibited objects

Plan your visit!

Speed up your entrance on site! Leave your bags and strollers at the checkroom, or better, at home or in the car.

FOR YOUR SAFETY – EVERYONE IS SUBJECT TO SEARCH

To speed up the entrance on site, the crowd will be split in three lines : 

  • empty-handed people
  • search of strollers and mobility-impaired people
  • Search of backpacks

Upon request, the search can be conducted by a male or female agent, depending on your comfort level.

The Festival reserves the right, in certain situations, to conduct body searches using a magnetic detector.
