Event FAQ

  • Are kids free?

    We love kids—but this event is really geared towards adults. Kids can be admitted with a GA or VIP ticket, but keep in mind that the beer/alcoholic sampling area is 21+ only. Children under 12 months can be admitted for free—you do not need a ticket. All other children must have a ticket and the price for an adult and child is the same.

  • Can I bring my dog?

    We love dogs too—unfortunately, there is a no pets policy. The Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater allows service animals—please see their full policy here.

  • What vendors will be there?

    The full list will be posted soon. Check back!

  • Will there be gluten free pizza available?

    More info on this soon once we gather menus. So stay tuned! Many pizza vendors do have gluten free crust and once we know if any will be providing that option we will update this site. Note: if this option is available it won't be 100% gluten free as there is no way to guarantee that there won’t be any cross-contamination.
