Adrift Open Air NZ

07/10/2024

Hey everyone, Sorry we couldn't put on Adrift this year. We still will be keeping you in the loop with things.
We have needed a break in the season to concentrate on other events and life in general. We will return sometime soon.

In the mean time have a look at Shipwrecked if you havn't been.

🌍 Sustainability at Adrift Open Air

Ahoy, Ticket Holders!
As we prepare to welcome you to Adrift Open Air this weekend, we want to share how we're making sustainability a priority at the festival. Here's what you need to know:

🚮 Clean Campsite, Clean Conscience:
Feel free to bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, but please bring a rubbish bag and take all packaging etc home with you.
🍽️ Bring Your Own:
Help us reduce waste by bringing your own reusable cup, cutlery, and crockery. We'll gladly fill your cup or bowl at the bar or food vendor.
♻️ Use the Recycling Bins:
Please only use the recycling stations on site for empty cans, food wraps, or compost from our bar or vendors. Let's support the Waste Wizard team in their efforts!
🌊 Respect the Lake:
We're fortunate to have a freshwater lake on site. Please enter the water from the beach and use the buddy system for safety & NEVER swim at night. Ensure no waste, alcohol, sun cream, or bodily fluids end up in the lake.
🔥 Respect the Fire Ban:
We have a total FIRE BAN in place. No open fires, and please dispose of cigarette butts responsibly. Controlled fires for warmth will be provided on site.
📷 Photos & Videos:
Please do not take pictures! This is a private space and we would like everyone to enjoy the vibe in real time and keep their phones in their pocket or at camp. We will have a professional photographer team on site to take pictures but you can be assured, they will ask for consent before taking any close ups.
Let's come together, celebrate, and leave a positive mark on the environment. Your responsible actions can make a big difference. See you at Adrift Open Air!
