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.
No line may form before 5pm on Wednesday before the Festival
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
Town Park & Warner Field Campers may collect a tarp line number for the following day beginning at 1PM on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday of the Festival. The details & schedule are as follows:
Wednesday June 19th
- Drawing line number for Thursday, June 20th
- Numbers available at the Festival Box Office from 1pm – Close (9pm)
Thursday June 20th
- Drawing line number for Friday, June 21st
- Numbers available at the Town Park Camp Gate from 1pm – 6pm
- Drawing line number for Saturday, June 22nd
- Numbers available at the Town Park Camp Gate from 1pm – 6p
- Drawing line number for Sunday, June 23rd
- Numbers available at the Town Park Camp Gate from 1pm – 6pm
In order to collect a random tarp line number, you will need to scan your RFID wristband on a special portal. The portal will only allow Town Park or Warner Field Wristbands to scan once per tarp run number distribution. You will only receive a number if the portal scans green (meaning you haven’t received a number yet for that day).
- If you are unable to get a tarp line number the day before, you will have the opportunity to scan and collect a random number for the current day’s tarp run between 7:30am and 8:00am each morning of the Festival at the Town Park Camp Gate.
- Numbers will not be distributed at any other times, so we recommend getting your number the day before!
- Just like normal, head to the Town Park Camp Gate 30min before Festival Gates open and get in order based on your line numbers to prepare for entry!
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
