Frequently Answered Questions

The event is outdoors, so remember to bring a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and protective clothing.

The recent rain and heat means that there will be mosquitoes, so it’s important to follow these tips to protect yourself:

  • Cover up by wearing long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing, covering as much of the body as you can. Mosquitoes can bite through tight clothing like jeans. Make sure children are also appropriately covered up.
  • Repel by applying insect repellent containing picaridin or DEET evenly to exposed skin. Don’t forget to reapply if you’re outside for an extended period of time.
