Photographers and videographers must not impede visitor traffic flow, obstruct operations, interfere with patrons, block entrances, exits, or walkways, or otherwise endanger the safety of the Patch, its visitors, or employees.

- Selfie sticks are welcome in outdoor spaces only. To protect equipment, and for everyone’s safety, selfie sticks are not allowed inside sculptures, tents, teepees, pumpkin houses, etc.
- Live-streaming is permitted in the Patch, subject to the same conditions described above. We ask that live broadcasts respect the privacy of other visitors, and that staff not be interviewed or otherwise engaged in a way that takes them away from their primary job duties.
