Rules & Safety
Safety first
The festival is joyful, but when it comes to safety and health we don't compromise. This isn't bureaucracy — these are rules we crafted together so that everyone (four-legged and two-legged alike) has an unforgettable day.
Core behavior rules
Four pillars of safety
Leash is mandatory
From entry to exit — dogs are always on a leash. No exceptions, not even for 'my dog who always listens'.
Vaccination & microchip
By registering you confirm your dog is properly vaccinated and microchipped. We don't ask for paperwork — we trust your word.
Dog behavior
If your dog isn't comfortable around other dogs, please leave them at home — for their own and others' comfort.
Your responsibility
The owner is responsible for their dog, its behavior and any potential damages at all times.
