Alcohol Policy
You must be 21+ to consume alcohol. A reasonable amount of unopened beer and wine (limited to one case of beer and one box of wine per person) will be permitted to be brought into your camping area. If, however, in security's judgment, anyone in the vehicle is intoxicated or the alcohol is open, then the organizers reserve the right to confiscate the alcohol. Kegs, glass, liquor, or vending of alcohol is not permitted.
Totem Guidelines
- Totems must be no taller than 7 ft.
- Totem sticks should be made of something light (makes it easier to carry anyway!) -- use PVC pipe or similar, no wood or metal, please!
- Don't put anything that could gash a head or poke out an eye on the end of that totem. If it looks like it could be used for a medieval joust, security will likely take it away!
- No threatening messages on totems.
Medical / Prescriptions
Medical prescriptions must be in their original bottle with the label attached. Your ID must match the name on the label. All federal and state laws apply at Woodkey.
Those bringing medicines to the event should declare them to security during any search and may have them stored in the medical center if required.
Medical professionals are on-site 24 hours a day. They are located at the end of the vendor stands to the right of the Main Stage.
In an emergency, if you are not near a medical tent, find a staff person with a radio, or notify the nearest event staff member. If you are not certain whether it is an emergency, assume it is and get help immediately.
In the event that you find yourself light-headed, sit down and ask a staff member or volunteer for assistance to the medic.
Festival staff and volunteers are dedicated to helping you feel safe and secure at all times. If one of them asks you to do something differently, please listen to their direction. In the event of an emergency, please listen to and follow the directions of the emergency professionals.
Woodkey cares for the safety and responsibility of all attendees.
Look out for others. If you see something, say something. Our security staff will be more than happy to resolve any issues or concerns.
Festival-goers are expected to exercise common sense and avoid unnecessary risks.

A Note on Headdresses and Threatening Messages:
At Woodkey, all should feel safe, comfortable, and welcome.
In this spirit, if you are someone who would normally bring Native American headdresses to the festival, please leave them at home. Out of respect for this community, it is inappropriate to wear headdresses outside of traditional ceremonies.
Additionally, while we support diversity in signs, totems, and articles of clothing, words or images that are divisive or might explicitly upset others, such as political, Confederate, FJB, or BLM flags, are not welcome.
Woodkey reserves the right to confiscate items deemed to be in violation of these policies at its discretion.
Leave No Trace
Please be sure to keep the woods within the festival clean. Woodkey has a standing "take nothing and leave nothing" policy.
