FAQs & THINGS TO KNOW

THIS EVENT IS ENTIRELY CASH ONLY - ATMS will be on-site
No dogs allowed: While we love your furry friends, please leave them at home as the event is on hot asphalt with limited shade
Bring your current, VALID ID if you plan to drink (and be 21+, obviously)
Event goes on rain or shine, but let's hope for the shine!
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Event is free to attend and all ages are welcome! However, if you are 21+ and plan to enjoy a tasty beverage then please bring your ID and $5 cash for drinking wristbands (in addition to cash to purchase the beverage itself).

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Bike corrals will be available on-site. Sociable has available parking spots but they will fill up quickly. If you drive to the event, be smart and get a ride home through Uber, Lyft, Metro Transit or a friend. We promise we won't tow your car the next day, or the next day or the day after that.

What can I bring into the event?

We ask that NO outside food or beverage is brought into the event with the exception of empty water bottles; we will have drinking fountains on site to fill them up. Backpacks are allowed but are subject to search by security officers at the doors. Please leave lawn chairs, weapons, drones and coolers at home. Strollers, umbrellas, costumes, jorts and fanny packs are allowed and encouraged (especially the last two)!

How can I contact the organizer with questions?

Reach out to us at [email protected] or send us a Facebook message with any questions regarding the event.

What's the refund policy?

If unforseen circumstances should arise, VIP ticket buyers may refund their ticket up to one week prior to the event, ending on August 11. There are no refunds for pre-purchased $5 Drinking Wristbands.
