Bring Sunscreen, Sunglasses, Shopping Money
Come early, and stay all day! Gates open at 9 a.m. Tents and umbrellas may be used for shade during the day, but must come down before the main stage concerts begin. Don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen! Remember, it is a June Music Festival in Alabama. Bring shopping money so you can shop the custom and unique items available in the vendor area.
FREE Parking & FREE Shuttles
For your convenience, we have several FREE public parking areas with shuttles running to and from the festival site. Shuttles begin running at 8:45 a.m. and continue until the end of the festival. We also have reserved wheelchair parking available to provide easier access to the festival area — but understand, this event is outdoors and there are hills, grass and gravel to deal with from all parking areas.
Be sure to leave your coolers, firearms or weapons in your car before getting on the shuttle bus!
