There are three GA seating areas that guests can choose from:

Guests that plan to sit in the grandstands, can bring a stadium chair.

There are GA Dance / Standing Areas at all concerts.

• A standard show has a GA dance/standing area in the middle close to the stage with short and tall lawn chair seating to the sides.

• A seated show has GA short chair/blanket seating in the middle section close to the stage with tall lawn chair seating behind it. Dancing areas can be to the left and right sides of the stage.

We are a cashless venue. Credit or debit card are the only accepted forms of payment.

Our on-site Festival Street food vendors are located behind the grandstands and are serving up delicious eats and non-alcoholic beverages.

Quench your thirst at our two on-site bars servicing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for guests over 21.

• Our Grab & Go Bar only serves canned beer, wine, and canned drinks like seltzers so guests can do just that, grab a drink, and go.

• Our Full-Service Bar serves canned drinks as well as cocktails, beer on tap, and wine.

Outside liquids are not allowed into the venue. Empty 32oz (or less) water bottles are encouraged, with free refillable water stations available throughout the venue. No glass, no exceptions.

Yes, the Festival at Sandpoint allows service animals trained for persons with disabilities in the venue.

Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.

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.

These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
