Where will I park?      We will have signage directing guests to a few neighboring lots to accommodate parking. There is also street parking around. We are expecting lots of guests, so carpooling and riding bikes is highly encouraged!

Are dogs allowed?      Due to the nature and size of the event, dogs are not permitted. We love ’em too, but please do not bring your four-legged friends or we will not be able to allow you to enter the festival.

There will be exclusive beers in the VIP area – our award-winning Pumpkin Ale, a newly brewed Saison, Thai IPA with Galaxy hops & mango, and our Rye IPA hopped with Simcoe hops.

Will there be ATMs?      Yes. There will be three ATMs on site. Both Beer Ticket stations will also accept credit cards.

Is the fest ADA accessible?      Yes. The Upslope Get Down is an ADA accessible event space for both general admission and VIP patrons.
