📢 KNOW BEFORE YOU GO 📢
10 tips and tricks to make your FreeFall Bluegrass Fest unforgettable!

1. Secure your FreeFall Tickets
Avoid any potential lines by buying online and head straight in when gates open. Ticket prices increase at the gate.

2. Know the Lineup & Schedule
There's nothing like dancing to your favorite band with your best friends!

3. Get a Safe Ride Home
Hop on the Free In-Town Bus, take a ride on Core Transit if you're staying outside of Avon, or take the shuttle provided by Agave Avon over to the Bear Lot or around town after the show.

4. Bring a Reusable Water Bottle
Water refill stations will be avaiable throughout the venue.

5. Prepare for Fall Weather
Fall is the best time to spend in the Rockies with warm sunny days, but the temperatures start to dip at night so be sure to bring a jacket!

6. Leave the Pets at Home
We all love our furry friends but your dog will have a much better time on the couch than in a loud crowd. Dogs are not allowed at the event and unless they are a properly accredited service dog, all pets will be turned away at the gate.

7. Get Outdoors!
Avon is full of great recreational activities and FreeFall is situated right on Nottingham Lake.

8. Eat Local
With amazing local food vendors and countless restaurants throughout town, you won't go hungry!

9. Volunteer
Help make this weekend a memorable one for the community and enjoy some live music while you're at it.

10. Round Up Your FreeFall Crew
Let's keep the party going the best way we know how - with good company, live music, and a cold drink!
