You can bring your own booze to Bazique but there are two key restrictions:
No glass bottles – PLEASE respect this – there will be searches for any glass before you enter the festival and we will have to take them off you.
Personal alcohol can only be consumed in the campsites due to SA licensing laws. You won’t be able to bring alcoholic drinks or cooler boxes out of the camping areas. Pls respect this policy.
What not to bring
Bazique is a collective of people – we are all in it together – and as much as we want you to have a good time with as few restrictions as possible, there are certain things that we cannot allow due to safety and legal reasons and there will be searches to enforce this. Please don’t bring any of the following. There is a particular sensitivity to fire risk at this venue.
Glass bottles. Cookers of any description. Braais. Flares. Fireworks. Illegal drugs. Dogs, Cows, Alpacas or any other animals. ( feel free to dress up as one tho) No Drones.
Age Policy
Bazique is a NO UNDER 20’s event and this will be enforced at the gate. If you look younger than 23, please bring your ID to make your entry to the event nice and easy.
