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.
