How come I need to get a ticket? Isn’t it free?

General Admission for the concert is free. There are ticket upgrades available to sit closer to the stage.

Why are you taking donations?  or How much does it cost?

We want to keep this event free for everyone, but in order to do that, we need your help.  We are asking you to give a suggested donation of $5-$10 for each person attending to help off-set the costs of the event.

What time does the Reserved Seating area open?

The Reserved Seating area opens at 1 pm.  With each Reserved Seating ticket purchased, you will receive a “Reserved Seating” wristband that grants you access to the Reserved Seating area for the rest of the day and for all the performers.

Can I bring my dog?

PETS are NOT ALLOWED in the festival area, however, there is a dog park located on the south side of Old Field Beach.

Can we put up a canopy tent or umbrella?

We only allow tents and umbrellas in DESIGNATED areas, which is on the OUTSIDE of the walking path.

Why do we have to pay to get close to the stage?

We want to keep Rock the Lake free for everyone, but there are many costs associated with an event this big.  One way we can recoup some costs is by selling the areas around the stage.

Parking is free unless you want to park closer to the concert area. Reserved parking can be purchased for $25.
