Why do we have a strict dresscode?

If you don't pass the Dresscode Check-in

Our dedicated dresscode guides at the entrance serve to uphold the unique visual aspect of our event. In the case your outfit doesn't meet the dresscode our dresscode guides will try offer suggestions on how you can modify your outfit to align with our guidelines.

We kindly request that you refrain from displaying aggression towards our dresscode guides. They are carrying out this important task based on provided instructions from the organizers.

If you are in doubt about your dresscode contact our dresscode and in addition you can bring a backup outfit in case your primary choice doesn't meet the dresscode.

In the rare circumstance that no last-minute modifications can help you adhere to the dresscode, entry to the party will unfortunately be denied. This measure is not meant to be punitive, but to ensure the ambiance and spirit of ManiFest is maintained.

Footwear

While extravagant footwear is always encouraged, we understand the need for comfort on the dancefloor and that not everyone can manage outrageous shoes.

If the rest of your outfit is impressively in theme, a pair of plain black trainers (or a colour that complements your outfit) can be acceptable.

However, worn-out trainers, Crocs, flip flops, muddy walking boots, beach sandals, and old Converse sneakers are strictly prohibited.
