After careful consideration, the Festival at Sandpoint has made the difficult decision that outside liquids will no longer be allowed into the Summer Performance Series.

Obtaining adequate insurance has become increasingly difficult, with most insurers declining coverage altogether due to our previous beverage policy, therefore threatening our ability to sustainably fulfill our mission and serve our community.

Empty 32oz (or less) water bottles are encouraged, with free refillable water stations available throughout the venue. Outside food will be allowed in the venue.

We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our valued guests as we work together to ensure a memorable and safe experience for everyone.

    No guest shall bring any animal, bird, fowl, fish, reptile, and/or any pet of any kind onto the premises at any time.

    Emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals are not allowed as they are not considered service animals under the ADA.
