News Article: Axe Festival 2022 Emphasizes Accessibility and Safety in Okolitsa Park
The Axe Festival 2022, taking place from August 16 to 24 in Okolitsa Park, Zorkalcevo, has implemented a series of measures to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for all attendees.
- Toilets: The festival organizers have arranged for portable toilets to be placed throughout the grounds, including accessible units designed for individuals with disabilities. Regular cleaning and maintenance will be carried out to maintain hygiene.
- Tick Treatment: Given the outdoor nature of the festival, tick awareness is addressed with informational signage reminding attendees to check for ticks. Medical tents are equipped to handle tick bites and provide first aid. Some areas have tick repellents available or recommended for use to reduce the risk of bites.
- Security Measures: A visible security presence will be maintained, including uniformed security staff patrolling the area throughout the festival. Entry points will have controlled access with bag checks to enhance safety. Emergency medical services will be on-site to respond promptly to any incidents. Clear signage and communication channels will be provided for reporting any concerns or emergencies.
In addition, the Okolitsa park in Zorkalcevo has undergone a recent accessibility evaluation, and the park is treated for ticks twice—in the spring and before the Axe Festival. Metal detectors and CCTV cameras will be installed during the festival.
The festival site is guarded 24/7 during the event, and there are five stationary toilets on the site, each with varying numbers of spots for women and men. To improve comfort and prevent unpleasant odors, wooden toilets are being removed from the festival site.
The department responsible for the park evaluation noted that while the park is not perfect, it is not as bad as it may seem. Dog handlers will be on duty during the festival to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees.
For more specific or updated details, festival-goers can refer to the festival’s official communications or contact local authorities.
- Social Media Updates: Festival organizers share updates related to the Axe Festival 2022 on their social media platforms, providing important information about tick awareness, security measures, and any changes or additions to the event.
- Entertainment Lineup: In addition to the safety and accessibility improvements, the Axe Festival 2022 offers a diverse lineup of entertainment, ensuring attendees have a variety of activities to enjoy during their visit to Okolitsa Park.
