Planetary Codes
Take a look at our Planetary codes. The Festival experience is more pleasant for everyone involved when we all adhere to the following…
Festival Guidelines
- Show goes on rain or shine.
- No pets - including dogs, cats, birds, or any other animals - are allowed anywhere on the Festival grounds, campgrounds, or parking lots/cars. It would be cruel to bring your pet to this Festival. Service animals, of course, are an exception.
- No glass is allowed: Including glass bottles, and jars, canned goods, etc.
- Outside Alcohol is absolutely prohibited. We serve beer, wine, and cocktails at the Festival (don’t forget your ID).
- Video Cameras are not allowed on the Festival grounds. Taping is permitted unless the performing artist requests otherwise.
- You are welcome to bring your own food and soft drinks in appropriate containers. We also have an assortment of food vendors with reasonably priced yummy food.
- Not responsible for loss, damages, or personal injury.
- All tickets must be exchanged for a wristband, which must be worn on your wrist, for festival entry.
- Kids 12 and under are FREE for the Festival and camping with a ticketed adult.
- Dancing and hula hooping are welcome in designated areas.
- Sorry, no frisbee playing in the Festival.
- Please use only low back chairs in front of the sound booth on the Festival grounds. If we can roll a basketball under it, we will ask you nicely to move behind the sound booth.
Tarp Line Policy
Our long-standing tarp line policy exists to create a kinder, gentler, more Festivarian-like entry each morning. Please keep in mind that the entry line is a complicated logistical problem and we have developed these rules with decades of experience, while taking a number of factors into consideration.
Our goal is to create an entry procedure that will be fair, orderly, and will satisfy the greatest number of Festivarians. Any feedback or suggestions you may have are greatly encouraged!
Remember, this is a general admission festival. Your tarps do not change that. Festivarians who see an unoccupied tarp are encouraged to have a seat until the owner returns.
Tarp Line Policy - Town Side (General Admission)
- You must be physically present in line at all times - no empty chairs!
- Unattended chairs will be kindly moved out of line.
- Numbers will be handed out each morning prior to the gates opening.
- Even after receiving your number, you must stay in line - reasonable bathroom/coffee breaks aside.
- Per Town ordinance, you may not camp in line - this means no tents, no cooking, and no sleeping.
- One number, one person, one (10’x10’) tarp.
- Festivarians with numbers will be admitted into the Festival in order, one at a time, after going through the standard Customs procedure.
Tarp Line Policy - Town Park/Warner Field Side
- 750 numbers will be RANDOMLY distributed to Town Park and Warner Field wristband holders ONLY. (Children wearing kids’ bands will NOT receive a number.)
- Numbers will be distributed each morning of the Festival between 7am and the time when gates open at the TP/WF entrance.
- ONE number, one person, one tarp. No exceptions!
- After receiving your number, please find your numeric position in line no less than 30 minutes prior to the gates opening.
- Festivarians with numbers will be admitted into the Festival in order, one at a time, after going through the standard Customs procedure.
- Due to the random nature of the number distribution, there is no need to line-up overnight.
Sustainable Festivation Policy
The success of our efforts to make the Festival more green depends on everyone. For several years, everyone involved has noted a great spirit of cooperation among Festivarians in regard to the efforts to reduce waste. By preparing ahead of time, you can make a difference with regards to festival waste and energy consumption. Here are a few ideas:
- Bring reusable items such as water bottles, insulated travel mugs, and vintage TBF beer cups.
- Carpool. Not only is it more gentle on the environment, it’s more fun too! (You think YOU sound good singing along to vintage New Grass Revival at the top of your lungs on the way to Telluride? You’ll sound even better with more people!) Check out the “Hitching a Ride” board at the Festivarian Forum.
- Take your recycling home when you leave the valley so that we can reduce the number of truck trips to carry the waste to Grand Junction.
- Bring your own personal eating utensils and reusable napkins.
- If you’re staying in a hotel or condo, let them know that you don’t need to have your towels and sheets washed daily.
- Bring your own bag if you buy groceries.
- Bring home your beer cups, as they will last for years. If you can’t, please dispose of them only in the specially marked containers at the beer booth and customs gate.
- Share your knowledge and ideas with Planet Bluegrass on survey cards and in our Harmony Green area (formally Greentown), or by emailing green@bluegrass.com
