​

When and where do I get my wristband?

Pick up your wristband on festival day at The District 10am - 5pm, or at Nissi's 5pm - 10pm. One wristband will be provided per ticket. Wristbands will be accepted at Dog House Music Studios, The Arts Hub, Muse Performance Space, and Nissi’s.

​

Am I guaranteed to get into each venue?

Attendance at each venue is on a first-come, first-served basis, and a wristband does not guarantee your entry if capacity limits at a venue are of concern. If one venue has reached capacity, we invite you to take part in the fest at another venue.​

​​

Are there any age restrictions?

Dog House Music Studios, The Arts Hub, Muse Performance Space, The District stages, and Coal Creek Bowling are all ages all the time. Nissi’s is a 21+ venue and age verification will be required upon entry. All wristband holders under 16 must be under the supervision of a parent or guardian at all times.

​

If accompanied by a parent or guardian with a wristband, children under six do not need a separate wristband for entry to The End Lafayette, The Arts Hub, or Muse Performance Space. Many of our indoor venues are small and loud spaces, so ear protection for little ones is HIGHLY recommended.

​

How do I get to the fest?

We encourage our event attendees to travel as much as possible using alternate modes of transportation. The main Lafayette Park N Ride is located at the northeast corner of the venues and is serviced by the LD (Longmont/Denver), Dash (Boulder/South Boulder Road), Jump (Boulder/Arapahoe), and 225 (Boulder/Baseline) busses. Limited parking will be available at each venue along with additional parking lots in the area.

Can I bring my pet dog/cat/mongoose?

​

Anything else?

We want to remind you to be respectful to the artists, fellow fans, and staff during the Fest. All venues have a no-tolerance policy for discrimination or anything that would make other patrons feel unsafe. All venues have the right to eject patrons for any reason, including unruliness.

​

What’s your refund policy?

The Lafayette Music Fest is a rain or shine event. There are no refunds or exchanges. All purchases are non-transferable and all event information, including the lineup, is subject to change. 
 

However, if the Lafayette Music Fest is rescheduled or canceled, refunds may be  available if your tickets were purchased through our official ticketing portal, if finances allow. This would be at the discretion of our hosting nonprofit organization, Rock for the People.
