All shows are General Admission. We recommend bringing some ground cover and a camping or lawn chair. The Palisade Bluegrass and Roots Music Festival will enforce chair height restrictions so if you have high-back chairs, umbrellas or tents, we ask that you please position yourself toward the back of the festival grounds and not near the stage. Low-back chairs and blankets are welcome toward the front of the festival grounds and dance floor.
**Note** Please remove all blankets, chairs, tents and umbrellas at the end of each day. We will be removing all items left overnight and placing them at the ticket booth to be picked up the next day.
**Please see recommended chairs at the bottom of the page

The Town of Palisade is providing a free shuttle which will allow festival goers to access downtown Palisade, local wineries and brewery, the Wine Country Inn, Palisade Basecamp RV Resort and more. The Free shuttle will pick up passengers at the festival’s main entrance and make frequent stops at key locations in town approximately every ½ hour from 8 am to 10 pm on Friday and Saturday, and 8 am to 7 pm on Sunday.
BICYCLES:
Riverbend Park is not only a great place for a music festival, but an enormous park as well. The campground is BIG and town is SMALL. Bring a bike as it’s the best way to get around the park and the festival. There is an extensive bike path along the river, which makes for the perfect way for excursions into and around town, back and forth from your hotel or campsite to the main stage, and wherever else you’d like to explore!
