Know before you go! Read the festival FAQ. Note new security procedures:

There will be a security gate that all attendees will need to walk through on the way into the hall. If the gate flags you for further screening, you will need to follow the instructions of the security personnel. Security will not be inspecting bags or personal belongings and we do not expect the increased security to slow down the flow into the hall.
