Yes! CityFest is free and does not require any kind of ticket or reservation to attend. So, go ahead, invite the whole neighborhood!

As we get closer to the event, a parking map will be provided on this website! See the parking map here.

Definitely! We will have multiple local food trucks and vendors on-site with food to purchase!

To keep the event safe and enjoyable for everyone, please do not bring canopies or umbrellas, as they can block views and create crowding. Firearms are strictly prohibited—thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment.

We’re glad you asked. This is important information. There are no seats available on-site so plan to bring your lawn chairs and blankets if you want a place to sit. Strollers, wagons, and walkers are welcome.

Strong and nice and brave and cool. A hired security company positioned at strategic locations and helping to manage internal security needs. There will also be a volunteer safety team in bright red shirts circulating throughout the site.

There will be an area in the middle of the field next to the sound mixing booth that is reserved for those in wheelchairs. Please note that the festival takes place in a field with uneven terrain. We recommend keeping this in mind when planning your visit.

We will allow for service dogs who are clearly marked with their work vest and on a 4′ leash at all times. Please do not bring any other animals with you.

Yes! The festival is designed for all ages to enjoy, with the family fun zone activities beginning at 3:30pm and the main stage experience at 6:30pm.

Lost items may be retrieved at the security RV on the north side of the park near Volunteer Check-In.

If you find something, it should be given to the nearest Safety Team member (look for the red shirts.)

Local community leaders and 140 churches, ministries, and businesses have teamed up to make CityFest possible, with the help of the Palau team. It’s a gift to our community!
