Seating at Masoka VillageIf you wish to bring a chair, only low-standing, beach-style chairs will be permitted. Those who want to remain standing for a performance must stand at the outer edges and rear of the audience areas.

Please be aware that standing in front of a stage for any performance not designated as a "standing performance" is prohibited, as this will interfere with other patrons' experience of the performance. We are expecting thousands of people to attend the festival and it's an on-the-move crowd, so please understand that you can’t "reserve" a spot.
