Mountain Village
Town Park detail: Main Stage, Truck Stage, indoor Blues Stage and campers-only Campground Stage have separate pins. Downtown and Mountain Village pins include the street address and a direct map link. Pin placement inside the temporary festival grounds is approximate; follow on-site signs and the official grounds map once inside.
03 · EAT SMART
Eat without
missing a set.
Every confirmed festival vendor, plus the smartest off-site options.
WAIT CHECK · SEP 14Festival booths are not open yet
No reliable source publishes live booth queues. Restaurant sites publish reservations or walk-in policies—not actual waits—so the cards clearly separate current facts from our service-speed estimates. Use Live check once each location opens.
FASTEST PLAYBuy before the set ends
Food lines usually build when a Main Stage set finishes. Go 15 minutes before the final song or eat during a must-skip overlap.
RAIN PLANExpect compressed lines Friday
With wet weather likely, covered and hot-food stands may draw the longest queues. Keep one quick-service backup.
NO-MISS DINNEREat in Mountain Village first
For a real sit-down meal, reserve before the gondola ride. Town restaurants compete directly with the evening lineup.
04 · SHOP LOCAL

FESTIVAL HOURSThu–Sun 11 AM–8 PM
Online pickup is available; payment is made in store by cash or PIN debit, with an ATM on site.
01
Public use is illegal. That includes festival grounds, the gondola, streets, plazas, parks and federal land. A private rental is only an option if the owner or host explicitly allows it.
02
Do not drive impaired. The safest festival plan is the gondola—and do not combine cannabis with alcohol, which increases impairment.
03
Keep it in Colorado. Do not cross state lines or fly with cannabis. Keep products sealed, secure and away from children.
04
Edibles take patience. Start low, wait for the full effect, and ask the budtender about serving size before leaving the store.
05 · AFTER DARK
THE CALL
Saturday wins
the Juke Joint.
If you only buy one night, make it Saturday: Samantha Fish plus The Zac Schulze Gang is the most electric, guitar-forward double bill. Friday’s smartest move is The Record Company for a gritty, groove-heavy encore.

06 · FIELD NOTES
Know before you go.
The useful stuff, trimmed to what matters.
No snow in the current forecast
Mountain Village lows are forecast near 40–45°F, so rain—not snow—is favored at mid-mountain. Check the daily card above before leaving.
Build in 35 minutes
Allow 12 minutes on the gondola, about 15 minutes walking from Oak Street to Town Park, plus an 8-minute line buffer.
Wristbands are on-site
Each guest needs their digital ticket and photo ID at 300 E Pacific. Friday and Saturday box office opens at 9 AM.
Easy in-town loop
The free Galloping Goose circles town about every 20 minutes. Mountain Village Dial-A-Ride: 970-728-8888.
