Can kids participate?
Absolutely! They just need to be able to stand in place with their hood on for 5 minutes
I'm attending with my friends and family, can we stand together?
Yes, you can! Let the check-in team know when you register and we will make sure you are all in the same colour.

We stand in place for just 5 minutes. It will take around 15 minutes to get
everyone in their spot. The rest of the day is a celebration!
Can I come at the last minute?
