If alcohol isn’t your thing, fear not! We will have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages on tap and a free water station as well.

What should I bring?

Early June in San Diego will likely mean sunny skies and warm temps, so be sure to bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and your most festive clothing (stop by one of North Park’s awesome vintage stores for inspo)! In an effort to reduce waste, we will also have one reusable cup for each ticket holder, so hang onto yours once you get it and be sure to bring it back with you on Sunday.

What should I leave at home?

Outside food and drinks are not allowed, and you cannot bring your reusable water bottle (as mentioned, we will have a reusable cup for you once you arrive). Please do not bring any weapons, fireworks, or bad vibes to the festival.

Can I bring my kids?

Please do! North Park Music Fest is a family-friendly event, and if your kiddos are under 18, they get in for free.

Can I bring my dog?

Fido is welcome to come rock out with you, as long as you keep him on a leash and pick up after him.

What if it rains?

This event is rain or shine, so keep an eye on the forecast and pack a light jacket if it’s looking drizzly.

What’s the parking situation?

Street parking is a scarce resource in North Park. Plan on using the four-story public parking garage on 29th street. We will also have a bike valet provided by Bike SD, and rideshare apps like Lyft and Uber are always a good option. Please do not drive yourself to the event if you plan on drinking.
