We have improved this process considerably since last year’s event. Here’s what’s going to happen:

VIP early access 2–3 pm 

  • We will begin scanning tickets and giving out wristbands for VIP ticket holders between 1:15 pm – 11:30 pm. We aim to have VIP ticket holders ready to enjoy the event at or shortly after 2 pm. Please bring your I.D.s and prepare them and your digital tickets for scanning. You will be wanded by security before you are allowed to enter the event.

General Admission – 3pm 

  • We will begin scanning down the line, checking I.D.s, wanding by security & handing out wristbands by 2:30 pm. We aim to have General Admission ticket holders ready to enjoy the event at or shortly after 2 pm.

Gate Entry Process:

General Admission Lines will break into three lanes alphabetically based on the last name used to purchase your ticket. Groups may go in the same line.

General Admission lanes:

  • A-I 
  • J-P
  • Q-Z

The VIP lane will be to the far left. You may skip the regular line if you are VIP and come to the front for VIP access. Do not wait in line if you arrive after 2 pm.

**Please bring your I.D.s and have them out, and your digital ticket is ready to scan. You will be wanded by security before you are allowed to enter the event.

You will enjoy exclusive beer pours, your own DJ, and VIP-designated restrooms.

There will not be a coat/backpack check. Also, lockers are not available.

DD can come in during the VIP hour.

Although we highly recommend leaving all children at home, children under age 1 are allowed, only if carried by a parent at all times. Keep in mind the festival can get extremely loud and is a 21+ event.

Well-behaved dogs are permitted, and they must be on a leash at all times. Please be considerate, curb your dog away from guests, and bring doggie bags to pick up any necessary waste. 

Many beer enthusiasts line up well in advance for the festival, and there will most likely be a line at the entrance. An ID check of all who enter the festival is required, and the line will move quickly if you have your I.D. out to make the age verification process run smoothly.

You must be 21+ with a valid photo I.D. to enter the festival.

Food and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase from our food vendors. Complimentary bottles of water will also be provided.
