Raise a glass with select wines, celebratory champagne, craft beers, and cocktails worthy of the captain’s table — all paired with carefully curated coastal cuisine designed to match the moment, the music, and the view.

🌊 Your Festival Experience
From standing-room-only areas up front near the stage to relaxed zones where you can stretch out a beach towel or settle into a low-profile chair, there’s a perfect spot for every member of the crew.

Can I bring a chair?
Yes please! Guests may bring low-profile beach chairs for comfort. To keep sightlines clear, chairs must sit no higher than 9 inches off the ground, with a backrest no taller than 32 inches. Standard camping or lawn chairs aren’t permitted.
