Henry Maier Festival Park does not tolerate any behavior that makes our guests feel unsafe, unwelcome, or uneasy. We encourage all guests to respect each other. Harassment in any form is not acceptable behavior. Harassment could include, but is not limited to: stalking, verbal or physical intimidation, offensive verbal comments, physical assault and/or battery, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, or unwelcome physical attention, based on race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, age, body size, disability, appearance, religion, citizenship, or pregnancy. If someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, no matter how minor it may seem, please do not stay silent. If you have been subjected to harassment, please contact Henry Maier Festival Park Crowd Management staff (red shirts). If you require medical assistance at Henry Maier Festival Park, please visit one of our First Aid stations, or request assistance from Crowd Management, Bell Ambulance, or Milwaukee Police Department officers. If you are still struggling to figure out what we mean by our anti-harassment policy here are some examples: #### **You see someone in the crowd that you think is attractive:** **DO –** Ask yourself, “does that person really want to stop watching their favorite Henry Maier Festival Park artist to be ‘hit on’ by me?” If you still think it’s a good idea, be prepared for rejection, and be respectful by saying something specific like, ‘enjoy the show’ or ‘have a nice night’ instead. **DO –** Keep a reasonable distance between you and the person. Be aware of social cues. If they move away from you or turn their head away that might be your cue to stop talking. **DO NOT –** Say “hey beautiful”, “cutie,” or ask them things like, “Why aren’t you dancing?” Don’t continue to stand near them or try to engage them if they are not interested. #### **When you feel like dancing:** **DO –** Respect peoples’ space around you and dance in your own personal bubble or with your friends. **DO NOT –** Grab someone and start dancing with them without permission. #### **You are trying to get through a crowd of people to see your favorite band:** **DO –** Remember that other people want to see the band too. If there’s no space ahead of them, don’t force your way to the front. If there is space, politely say excuse me. **DO NOT-** Push, shove, or run over other Henry Maier Festival Parkers. Know what’s a bummer? When someone pushes past you then stands right in front of you! ## Severe Weather and Other Emergency Procedure: In the case of severe weather, the signage on the grounds and the grounds’ announcement system will promptly notify Henry Maier Festival Park guests. Some Henry Maier Festival Park activities may be temporarily postponed or canceled. Please keep an eye on the signage and/or social media and website for updates as they come out.
