(The Abbey Road on the River Questions You Didn’t Think to Ask—But Someone Did)
Is there a place I can store my stuff during the day?
We do not have lockers, but small bags and backpacks are allowed and subject to search. Travel light and plan to keep your items with you.
Can I bring a camera or GoPro?
Yes, for personal use. However, professional photography, video equipment, and drones are not allowed without prior approval. Email us.
Are pets really not allowed? Even small ones in bags?
Only certified service animals are allowed—no other pets, even in bags or strollers.
Can I volunteer or trade work for a ticket?
Nope. This isn’t that kind of festival. Everyone is paid, including the staff and the bands. We keep it professional and fair.
Is there a dress code or theme?
Not officially—but we do love to see fans in Beatles outfits, retro fashion, Sgt. Pepper jackets, tie-dye, and peace signs. Just be comfortable and weather-ready.
Do you have vegan or vegetarian food options?
Yes, several vendors offer vegetarian options and a few have vegan-friendly meals. Check with each truck on site.
Can I bring a tent or sunshade?
No personal tents, canopies, or large sunshades are allowed. There are covered seating areas throughout the park already provided.
Can I propose on stage during a band’s set?
Only if you’re Paul or Ringo. But seriously—email us. We’ve made some dreams come true (and we love a good story).

Let’s just say… they’re very committed. Some of them are more Beatles than Beatles.
Will Paul McCartney show up as a surprise guest?
Not yet. But if he does, we’ll all lose our collective minds together.
