A Festival Guide for Rites of Spring
• A system has been created for the distribution of wristbands. Students will purchase two tickets and will be exchanged for a wristband each day for entry. The community will receive two tickets for a weekend pass and exchanged for a different color wristband each day of the festival. Patrons who purchase a single day ticket will also exchange their ticket for a wristband. Upon entry, students who are bringing in alcohol will have their attendance wrist band hole punched.
