How to get there? You can drive to the Speedway along Las Vegas Blvd or Interstate 15 (Exit 54). Look for electronic message signs on the freeway with the latest information and traffic updates. Whether you’re driving yourself or taking the (sold-out) shuttle service, head out early to give yourself enough time to get into the festival—especially if you want to catch the opening ceremonies, which begin daily at 4 p.m. Past festivalgoers recommend allowing about an hour and a half to two hours to get into EDC.

Where to park? Free parking will be available in the Brown and Green lots, located on the Speedway’s west and south sides, respectively, and accessible via Las Vegas Boulevard. Premier parking is available for $130 in the Yellow lot, and ADA parking will be accessible via Entry 8 off Las Vegas Boulevard. Remember to keep track of your spot!

What’s the COVID policy? To get into EDC this year, you must either be fully vaccinated (final dose no later than October 8) or provide a negative test result taken no sooner than 72 hours prior to entry. You can show a copy of your CDC vaccination card, digital vaccine record or negative test result, or a photo of one of those documents on your phone.

Are masks required? No, but local and state officials strongly recommend that you wear one.

Are tickets still available? At press time, a limited number of GA, GA+ and VIP passes were for sale at lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com/tickets.

How does camping work? To enter Camp EDC, you must be 18+, be wearing a festival wristband and have a camping pass in hand. Check-in begins October 21 at 9 a.m., then times vary for the remainder of the festival. An RV or vehicle cannot be moved once parked. All campers must vacate the campground by 3 p.m. on Monday, October 25.

What to wear? Considering EDC is taking place in the fall this year, you might want to pack a jacket for the chilly night and early morning hours—especially if you’re going to be waiting in line for shuttle rides. If you’re planning on rocking a costume—in honor of Halloween or just for fun—keep in mind that outfits resembling public safety uniforms (police, SWAT, fire, security or medical) are not permitted.

What to bring? Empty, reusable water bottles and hydration packs are permissible. Small bags, purses and fanny packs are fine, too, as are glowsticks, inflatables, flags/banners, handmade signs, pool noodles and totems that are no taller than 10 ft and made from lightweight material. You can’t bring in items like drones, balls, frisbees, tents, large umbrellas, chairs and blankets.
