Safety is of Utmost Importance

All participants (or guardians) must sign a waiver in order to participate in the events. While we're all here to have a good time throwing some rotten fruit it may not come at the expense or safety of another participant, spectator or volunteer.

All liability falls on the participants and spectators of the event to ensure they are aware and responsible for their own safety. For additional information please reference the waiver terms below or at time of registration pick-up in person.

The waiver will be available for signature before entering the event.
