CORONA — More than two dozen people were arrested this weekend at the Electric Daisy Carnival outside Citi Field, police said.

Police busted 32 concertgoers throughout the two-day electronic dance music festival, which took place in the stadium's parking lot.

The arrests were mostly related to narcotics, according to the NYPD. 

EDC returned to Queens after being held for the last two years in New Jersey. The event featured four stages and some of the most popular DJs from around the world.

In addition to four stages, there was an "adult carnival" with rides that were free for everyone, organizers said. 

"EDC’s landscape is an oversize adult playground dotted with all your favorite full-size thrills. And the best part? Rides are free for everyone to enjoy!" the site said as tickets went on sale last fall.

"Grab your festie bestie, and enjoy EDC from a whole new perspective."
