The Festival at Sandpoint is less than one week away.
And, in preparation for the 2024 summer performance series, Festival at Sandpoint officials have a few tips and words of advice.
Tickets are selling fast and those interested in attending a performance should act fast and purchase tickets today. All performances are sold first come, first serve.
Guests are encouraged to check the Festival website directly to ensure they are purchasing authentic tickets. The Festival at Sandpoint only sells tickets through ETix and does not work with any outside websites to sell tickets. Additionally, they do not work with any ticket resellers who mark up ticket prices.
The Festival at Sandpoint cannot guarantee that any tickets bought through third-party ticket sellers are legitimate and cannot verify tickets or refund a purchase in the event of a cancellation.
Free event parking is available in the Sandpoint High School parking lot, 410 S. Division Ave. A free SPOT shuttle service is available to and from the venue for all performances. Daily shuttle times are posted in the full 2024 Festival event program.
To make the most of the fun, Festival officials said guests are encouraged to check out the individual schedules for each performance, as gate security protocols and show times may differ between days. To view performance-specific timelines, visit festivalatsandpoint.com/2024 for the full lineup.
Early entry and season pass lines are located on the lakeside of the War Memorial Field. The sponsor line is located on Ontario Street, with the general admission line beginning in Lakeview Park.
The Festival’s venue map, including the location of lines and designated seating areas, is also available online by visiting festivalatsandpoint.com/venue-map.
While inside the Festival at Sandpoint’s Summer Series, guests can sample local cuisine from one of the 11 Festival Street food and drink vendors and try a refreshing beverage from the full-service bar. The Festival at Sandpoint is a cashless venue. Debit and credit cards are the only accepted forms of payment.
Before attending the Festival at Sandpoint’s 41st summer performance series, Festival officials said guests should note important policies and prohibited items.
In an effort to offer the best guest experience and expedite line wait times, guests will not be allowed to re-enter the Festival. Once guests have scanned their tickets and entered War Memorial Stadium, they will not be able to return upon exiting. As a reminder, all ticket sales are final. Festival officials said they cannot offer refunds or exchanges for ticket holders.
Hard-sided coolers, rolling coolers, wagons, strollers, weapons, glass, and pets will not be permitted, Festival officials said. Soft-sided coolers are still allowed into the venue. Although not required, clear bags are encouraged to expedite the security scanning process.
Artist security requirements vary by show. For a complete list of all prohibited items and policies, go online to festivalatsandpoint.com/policies.
This year's Festival at Sandpoint takes place from July 25 to Aug. 4 at War Memorial Field. The summer performance series features a variety of genres, including rock, country, folk, indie, and more.
