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

General camping is a little further from the venue but has acres of sites. The Colorado River runs by all camping.
All sites are “First Come” . The entrance to the campground is on 36 1/4 Road, just south of Highway 6 and west of Palisade High School. See the campground map HERE
The Campground opens Thursday before the festival at noon and closes Monday after the festival at noon.

The festival provides a free shuttle allowing festival goers to access downtown, additional free parking and the Wine Country Inn. Shuttle Hours are Friday: 6:00 – 11:00 PM, Saturday: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM and Sunday: 11:00 AM – 8:30 PM. They run approximately every half hour.

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!
Festival grounds are level and accessible. Please let an event staff know if you would like assistance with mobility or seating.
