Bonnaroo Festival has stepped up harm reduction with widespread free Narcan (naloxone nasal spray) distribution this weekend. A generous allotment of single-dose Narcan sprays is now available across the festival grounds, thanks to a committed attendee and the nonprofit "This Must Be the Place."
These efforts place Narcan stations near key areas like the Centeroo entrances and the infinity stage, delivering life-saving overdose reversal medication directly to those who may need it. Festival-goers are also being educated on fentanyl dangers and naloxone’s proper use.
Community reactions praise the move for its potential to save lives amid rising concerns about opioid risks at large events. While Narcan can temporarily counteract overdoses, experts stress the necessity of subsequent immediate medical care.
This initiative highlights Bonnaroo’s ongoing commitment to safety and staying ahead as a leader in festival harm reduction practices. Attendees are urged to access these free resources responsibly to keep the festival experience as safe as possible.
