Children
This is an all ages event. Children under the age of 12 can enter for free when accompanied by a full paying adult. One child per ticket holder.

The Outer Fields venue does not allow single-use/disposable cups. We have a partnership with Globelet who provide the venue with reusable cups for all beverage service at each show. It works likes this- when you purchase your first beverage(s), you will pay an additional one time $3 for each cup. When you purchase each subsequent drink, and return the used cup each time, you will be served your new drink in a fresh cup at no extra cost. The used cup will be washed/dried by us and returned to circulation. At the end of your evening, you can either (a) take your cup home as a souvenir, or (b) return it to the ‘Globelet Refund’ tent for a $1 refund, or (c) donate your cup return to our charity of choice, ‘Music Helps’ and we will give the $1 refund to them.  

Partnering with Globelet allows us all to reuse recyclables and not waste single serve disposables.
