The doors to the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center will open tomorrow at 2 pm so that attendants can avoid the long lines of the first two years of the festival. The organizers nevertheless, are recommending the public attend using public transport. Weapons of any kind are prohibited. Small coolers, chairs, bags, glass or plastic bottles, cans, umbrellas or video cameras are also banned from the stadium. Those found with these items will be invited to leave by personnel security.
