A Note From the Creator

At The Festival Abides™, I’m committed to creating a space that’s safe, respectful, and welcoming for everyone.

This is a grassroots event built on kindness, humor, and community. Discrimination, harassment, or aggression of any kind will not be tolerated.

I ask all attendees, vendors, and volunteers to abide by this Code of Conduct and help make this festival a good time for all.

If you experience or witness something that doesn’t sit right, please let me know. I take all concerns seriously and will do my best to address them quickly and fairly.

Then let the existing rules follow as they are — no need to change them.

Let me know if you want to add a line like:

Just in case anyone wants to report something discreetly.

Code of Conduct: The League Rules

This isn’t ‘Nam, there are rules.

I want The Festival Abides™ to be fun, safe, and inclusive for everyone. Here’s what I ask all vendors, volunteers, and guests:

Respect the Vibe

Be kind, patient, and courteous to fellow Urban Achievers™. No hate speech, harassment, or un-Dude-like behavior.

Go Easy on the Caucasians (White Russians drinks)

This is a 21+ friendly event in designated areas, but drink responsibly. If you’re disruptive or belligerent, you will be asked to leave (and not in a chill way)

Costumes Encouraged, Not Required

Dress up, dress down—just keep it respectful.

Doggos Welcome (on a leash)

I love furry achievers. Make sure they’re friendly, leashed, and picked up after.

No Unauthorized Amplified Sound

Keep your boombox in check, Donny.

Clean Up Your Mess

Don’t be a human tumbleweed. Use the bins, recycle, and help us leave it better than we found it.

No Firearms or Weapons

Seriously. Please do not pull a firearm during league play. Not even a fake one.

You Might Be Photographed

By attending The Festival Abides™, you consent to being photographed or recorded as part of general event documentation and promotion. We can’t guarantee exclusion from background footage or crowd shots. If you have serious concerns, please speak with a staff member. While accommodations are not guaranteed, we will do our best to be respectful.

In Summary

Be excellent to each other. Be the Dude. Or Maude. Or Walter—just, y’know, on your best behavior.
