People dance to music played from headphones during a silent disco on the first day of Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn., Friday, June 17, 2022.

It's time for Bonnaroo 2023 in Manchester, Tennessee, and if you are hoping to take an alcoholic beverage – or two – along with you there are a couple of things to keep in mind.

Bonnaroo's alcohol policy gives festival goers some wide parameters on how much each person can bring with them, but it also has strict guidelines on where alcohol can be consumed at The Farm. One of the biggest things to remember when it comes to bringing your favorite beverage to Bonnaroo is to forget the glass.

The venue strictly prohibits glass containers at the festival due to the difficulty of cleaning it up, should it break.

Here's everything else you need to know about bringing alcohol to Bonnaroo.
