General Information

Security & Safety

Your safety—and your family’s safety—is at the very core of how we operate Abbey Road on the River. We take it seriously, and we plan for it year-round.

All guests should expect a respectful but thorough entry process, including bag checks and handheld metal detection (wanding) at all main entrances. We ask for your patience during these moments—these few extra seconds are part of what allows everyone to relax once inside.

We work in close coordination with the Jeffersonville Police Department, along with fire, EMS, and trained private security teams stationed throughout the festival grounds. You’ll see a visible presence, but just as important is the coverage you won’t see—plainclothes personnel, monitored entry points, cameras and continuous communication between all teams.

In addition, we utilize enhanced event monitoring, including overhead surveillance and real-time coordination across the site, so we can respond quickly to anything that needs attention.

Our goal is simple: create an environment where you can focus on the music, your friends, and your family—knowing that every reasonable measure has been taken to keep you safe.

If you see something that doesn’t feel right, please say something to any member of our team immediately.

We’ve got you covered.
