LEGAL DISCLAIMERS AND GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATION: Zombie Walk Palm Springs is an organized public gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes around Halloween time in downtown Palm Springs. The participants will make their way through the street fair as a type of street theater. GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATION: * FIRST AND FOREMOST: We want the public to be entertained by us, not threatened or offended! Do remember that the zombie walk is a family-friendly event. Lots of children will be attending the Palm Springs Street Festival so please be respectful. * ZOMBIES SHUFFLE AND LURCH SLOWLY : Zombies don’t talk or scream or shriek or howl – they moan or grunt. Zombies move in a slow, halted manner. * KEEP MOVING THROUGH THE STREETFAIR:Do not block foot traffic, as it is a safety risk and can also be illegal depending on the situation. We will have designated areas for stopping the walk. * STAY IN CHARACTER: Participants are encouraged to remain in character as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombies (grunts, groans and slurred * RESPECT THE SPACE OF OTHER STREET FESTIVAL ATTENDEES: Do not reach out of people’s faces (do not to reach out at members of the public as we pass them… this is legally considered threatening behavior). * PLEASE DO NOT STOP AT THE VENDOR BOOTHS:This has been requested by the administrator of the Palm Springs Street Festival, so please refrain from those activities for the sake of future walks. * THINGS TO LEAVE AT HOME :- Weapons… No fake ones, no real ones, no imaginary invisible ones. You will be asked to put them back in your car or get rid of them. Zombies do not carry weapons anyway * ALCOHOL AND DRUG USAGE: Alcohol/drugs… We ask that you refrain from partaking in any mind-altering substances before/during the walk, due to public intoxication laws. If you show up under the influence, you’ll be asked to leave immediately. We ask this for your safety and the safety of others. * POLICE: Respect any police officers who may step in to cease the walk. It is their right to do so if the zombies are impeding traffic or otherwise engaging in illegal activities. It is best to follow orders and disperse quietly. We would like to do this again next year and cannot unless we can prove we’re (mostly) harmless to the general citizenry. *PARTICIPATING IN THE WALK: By participating in ZombieWalkPalmSprings, you do so at your own risk.
