Electric Forest
Allowed items
Recent editions skip a strict clear-bag rule but bar large or framed backpacks from the venue — a fanny pack or small hydration pack clears security faster. Into the venue itself, only one factory-sealed water bottle (one gallon max) or an empty hydration pack/reusable bottle is allowed, refilled at the free stations inside; outside food and alcohol stop at the venue gate. Camping is looser: unopened beer and wine are fine (one case of beer and one box of wine per person), but glass, kegs, and liquor aren't, and camp alcohol can't travel into the venue with you.
Use the official policy
Entry, bag, camping, and vehicle policies can be updated before an edition. Open the official source close to departure and make your own packing decision from that current policy.
Do not plan around loopholes
We do not publish prohibited-item workarounds. When an item is unclear, leave it out or contact the event directly.
