We know youre pumped about Forecastle, but before you start pregaming and forget about well everything, you may want to check these two lists of what you can and cant bring in. Because the last thing you want to do is spend all your money on Uber to get the right backpack. Or worse, bring the wrong water bottle, and then spend all your drinking money on stupid, worthless water. Gross.
And to make your preplanning even easier, were putting ** next to everything we think is a must. Everything else can take a hike.
Permitted Items
- Sun block **
- Blankets, sheets and towels
- Small backpacks and purses (not over 12x6x12 inches) **
- Empty water bottle **
- Empty hydration bladder packs
- One sealed bottle of water
- Selfie sticks no longer than 40 inches in length
- Service animals **
Side Note on Permitted Items: Even if you have the proper-size backpack, its still going to be searched. There are two hydration stations with free, filtered water. If you bring a service animal, you may be asked what service the animal provides and to alert security about your service animal. And finally, selfie sticks are subject to Forecastle Staff discretion so if you come in with some crazy shit, dont be surprised if you cant bring it in.
Since some of these banned items are more likely than others (see motorized vehicle) were putting ** next to the items you might be thinking about taking.
