Friendly tips
Avoid too much alcohol, drink lots of water, bring your hay fever or asthma medication, a hat, sunscreen and a jacket in case the temperature drops at night ... plan ahead! And be kind to the neighbours when leaving.

Zero Waste: Leading the way in green events
We are aiming to be a Zero Waste event. All crockery and cutlery is made of biodegradable material. Even the beer cups breakdown in time. You will see clearly labelled biodegradable bins around the park. All food, paper, cups provided on site can go into these bins.

If you are bringing your own goodies to the park, please take home any plastic, alfoil, party plates etc. Do not place them in the biodegradable bin as some poor person will have to pull them out.

Smoke Free
Applies to all food service areas, the Global Village, KidZone and defined viewing areas in front of all stages.

Hold onto your butt!
If you smoke, respect the crowd around you by doing it away from the defined Smoke Free areas and disposing of your cigarette butts properly - Please Butt It, then Bin It. Use the personal canisters provided at the gates, or look for the Butt Zones at the recycling stations and dispose of your butt responsibly.
This project is an initiative of WOMADelaide in partnership with the Butt Littering Trust.

   

Be active - find 30
Whether it's zipping across the 34 hectare Botanic Park or dancing to your favourite band, find 30 minutes of moderate physical activity per day - that's all it takes to benefit your health.
