Pets. No pets of any kind will be allowed in the Fairgrounds. This includes dogs, cats, ferrets, farm animals, horses, elephants, mice, snakes, spiders, goldfish etc. If you show up with your pet – neither of you are getting in.  A local kennel where you can board your dogs during the festival is: Paws-A- While, 207-583-2612, 605 Mill Hill RD Waterford, Maine.

No Glass – Period. We just don’t want people cutting their feet when they should be dancing. If you are camping, and you are at least 21 years old, then you may bring a reasonable amount of beer to your campsite. We define reasonable as no more than 2 cases per person. All beer must be in cans and we do not allow kegs or beer balls. Wine is also allowed, but not in glass bottles. Hard liquor will not be allowed in the fairground. Please think about this before loading your car with booze that you will not be allowed to bring into the Fairgrounds. The same is true of glass jars filled with food – no glass allowed.

No Fireworks. Fireworks are illegal in the State of Maine. Besides, they’re way dangerous when fired off by amateurs in the middle of a crowded concert and camping venue. Assuming we are granted the appropriate permits, we plan to be providing a professionally managed fireworks display on Sunday night July 4th.

No Electric Instruments. No electric or battery powered instruments will be allowed to be played inside the venue unless it is by the musicians on the stage. We encourage our musically minded community members to bring their acoustic guitars, tambourines and drums, but amplified music is a no-no.

Alcohol. You have to be 21 years old to buy, consume or possess alcohol. It’s the law and you should expect us to enforce it. All beer must be in cans and we do not allow kegs or beer balls. The limit for canned beer to be brought in will be limited to 2 cases per person. Wine is also allowed, but not in glass bottles. Hard liquor will not be allowed to be brought into the Fairgrounds. Please think about this before loading your car with booze that you will not be allowed to bring into the Fairgrounds. Beer and wine will be available for sale in the Concert area and in the Camping area, with proper ID.

No Weapons. Weapons are not allowed, No guns. That’s right, no hunting rifles, no shotguns, no bb guns, no axes or hatchets. No baseball bats. Please don’t bring anything that could be construed as a weapon. Knives for cooking should be secured within your supplies and not left out in the open. Regardless of what it is used for, unsecured knives will be confiscated. Confiscations will not be returned. If you think it might be confiscated please leave it at home. It’s supposed to be a peaceful gathering of like-minded souls.

No Open Fires. You can bring a small gas stove or a small gas or charcoal grill to cook with at your campsite, but Smokey the Bear says, No-No to Campfires!

No Bicycles or Skateboards please. Too many people. Feel free to bring your bike with you and then take a ride along the beautiful country roads outside the Fairgrounds, but not inside the Camping or General Viewing Areas. Sorry.

No Unregistered Vendors. Our vendors pay money to be able to come to our festival and offer their goods within our Community. It’s not fair to them to have unregistered vendors wandering the venue competing for business. It’s not fair to us either. Non-registered Vendors will be asked to leave the venue. If you would like to sell something cool at Nateva, then you should talk with us about becoming a partner in our Community and registering to become a Nateva Vendor.

No Nitrous Tanks. It is our opinion that nitrous tanks and the entire scene that surrounds them are bad for the Nateva Community. We will not tolerate a single tank in the fairgrounds. We have committed a tremendous amount of money and resources to addressing this issue. If you come to Nateva for the express purpose of selling nitrous, you should know that we will be looking for you and it is likely that we will find you. People caught in possession of a tank or selling nitrous balloons will have their tanks confiscated, be removed from the venue, have their vehicle towed and be subject to arrest by the Oxford Police Department. We have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY in place regarding Nitrous Tanks and we are putting the time and money into enforcing that position. Don’t waste our time or yours – Just Don’t Bring The Tanks!
