  • Illegal activities such as driving while intoxicated, illegal parking, underage drinking and smoking, and possession of any illegal substance or objects are strictly prohibited.

 

  • Please avoid the playing of taiko drums and other musical instruments, intoxication and loud parties at night at the Harbour Market, public parks and campsites and anywhere else where such activities would cause trouble for local neighbors or other participants. Furthermore, in the event that any such disorderly conduct takes place within the Harbour Market Live venue, the responsible parties and their group will be expelled from the venue.

 

  • We do not take any responsibility for any accidents, thefts or any other incidents that take place within any EC venue. Please be aware and responsible for your own possessions.
