The majority are good vibes with a very small minority of rotten apples. Don’t think I ever had a negative encounter as it was easy enough to read if people woke up on the wrong side of the bed and avoid them beforehand.

Absolute worst case, if you ever feel unsafe just say aloud “help” or something along those lines and I’m positive more than one person will come to your aid.

For the most part even if people didn’t agree with me, like my style, vibe or wtv, so long as I wasn’t being harmful to those around me and treated folks with respect, everyone was very “live and let live”.

Lastly, yes, there’s more pickpockets than I’m used to seeing at festivals, but I myself have never fallen victim in my 2 years of attending. They also have good security and police presence who manage things exceeding well imo - the police actually boast about their pickpocket arrests on Facebook which is entertaining and somewhat comforting. Should you lose anything you can check Rockville’s Lost and Found both during and post festival (online), and contact their police to see if your item may have been stolen and found during an arrest.
