Pet Policy

While pets are allowed at Rainbows Festival, pets must be on a leash at all times. Be advised that the Rainbows Festival site is very small and gets very crowded. It may be difficult for pets to maneuver through the crowd. We strongly recommend you consider these conditions when deciding whether to bring your pet. Owners are REQUIRED to pick up after their pets. Any violation of this policy will result in the pet and owner being asked to leave the festival. Please bring your own bags to pick up after your pet. We ask that you also take into consideration the temperature during the weekend. If the ground burns your feet, please assume it is burning your pet’s feet too! We want your pets protected!
