Attending the BluesFest event? Here’s what you need to know!

Remember, the event is Rain or Shine! In the event of inclement weather, outdoor bands will be moved inside.

If you have not purchased your tickets, be sure to consider our preferred or select seating to guarantee your spot inside!

Already purchased outdoor-only seats? Visit us at the ticket tent to upgrade!

All ticket holders will be issued wristbands. Upon arrival, please collect your wristband at the tent in

front of the Sunrise Theater office. Tickets can also be purchased here.

Please bring a lawn chair or blanket for your spot on the lawn! Food trucks, Southern Pines Brewing

Company drafts, and various other beer wine and concessions will be available. We also encourage you to support our many local restaurants. Outside food and picnics are allowed on the lawn but NO

OUTSIDE ALCOHOL is allowed. Don’t be that guy! Service animals only on the lawn or inside the theater.

All alcohol purchases will be on a drink-ticket system. You must get a 21+ wristband if you plan to drink. Drink tickets will be sold at the tent near the visitor’s center. One ticket per drink (large ciders are 2 tickets). If you are attending two days, tickets are good for both days so buy as much as you think you will consume and save yourself a trip to the beer line!

Not attending but still want to support the event? Beer, concessions, and vendors will be available

outside the event space so come by for a draft or drop a donation!

Remember, the Sunrise Theater is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and supporting events like this

help us enrich the community in many other ways throughout the year!

See you at the Sunrise!
