Summer of Sins is a rain or shine event, however, there are instances in which we would pause, evacuate or cancel the show due to severe weather, including (but not limited to): lightning, thunderstorms, high winds, hail, flooding, or as directed by local emergency personnel. Festival management is constantly monitoring weather conditions in consultation with the National Weather Service, as well as a private weather service to ensure the safest event possible.

In the event of a evacuation due to severe weather, fans who drove to the event will seek shelter in their vehicles. Fans who are camping will return to the campground and seek shelter either in their vehicle or a designated shelter location. Fans will be informed of any emergency situation via audio and video announcements from the stages and social media. We recommend fans follow our socials to stay up-to-date with festival communication.

To allow the necessary time to safely evacuate the festival grounds, the evacuation notice may occur before any weather conditions are viewable. We request that all fans follow the directions of festival staff and local law enforcement.

IF THE EVACUATION IS TEMPORARY, SEEK SHELTER

Please be advised that tents, the VIP viewing platform, and temporary structures are not a safe places to shelter. Safe shelter instructions are below. Your designated shelter location is based on how you arrived at the festival. Festival staff will be available to assist you.

Fans who are camping: Fans who are camping will return to the campground to seek shelter either in their vehicle or a designated shelter location. These locations are marked on the camping map and signage will be posted. Campers should not shelter in their tents.

Fans with disabilities: Fans that may require additional time or assistance to evacuate are asked to check in at the Access Center upon arrival to the festival for additional information.

AFTER A TEMPORARY EVACUATION

When fans are advised to seek temporary shelter, our intent is to restart the festival if weather permits. Fans will be advised if/when it is safe to return to the festival. Fans will be given ample time to re-enter the grounds before music will resume.
If it is determined that, after a temporary evacuation, the festival is not able to re-start due to Inclement Weather, fans will be notified that the festival is cancelled and asked to exit the grounds for the remainder of the day.

If the festival is cancelled for the remainder of the day, fans are asked to safely exit the festival grounds.
