Pass Details & Arrival Times:

Early arrival pass grants early festival access on Wednesday, May 24th to the High Grounds campground (until Box Office closes at 11pm). Only works as an add-on to a 4 Day Weekend Pass. Does not grant festival access on its own.*
4-day weekend pass grants access to all Lightning in a Bottle activities and stages from Thursday morning (when gates open) to Sunday night. Includes walk in access to campgrounds for tent camping. Camping equipment not included. Campgrounds will close on Monday morning.
A car camping pass means you can bring your car inside the designated campgrounds. Camp inside or with your vehicle and enjoy all the comforts of nearby vehicle access. Please note: Car Camping Passes are in Limited Quantity and entry to the festival requires a 4-Day Weekend Pass.
If you do not have a car camping pass, but still want to tent camp you can! All 4-Day Weekend Passes include tent camping in the festival. Tent Camping means that you can camp anywhere in the campgrounds without your vehicle. Those with cars will park in the general parking lot and walk or use the gear shuttle to get to the campgrounds. If you would like to camp with your vehicle, you’ll need to purchase a Car Camping Pass in addition to your festival pass.
