Our front gate and security staff are industry professionals who will help get everyone in to the event in an efficient and safe manner. Please anticipate a short wait before entering the event so that our staff can be thorough in searching our attendees. It's for your own safety so let's work together on this and it will help everything move a lot quicker. Below is our formal notice regarding our safety protocol when entering the event...

In order to provide our patrons with a safe environment, the following security measures may be in effect:

1) As a condition of entry and for the purpose of public safety, everyone will be subject to reasonable search of their person including the use of hand-held metal detectors and/or pat downs.

2) As a condition of entry and for the purpose of public safety, you may be asked by our security team to present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, to wear face coverings while at the event, and/or to undergo symptom screening and/or temperature checks prior to entering the event.

3) Searches may cause brief delays in entering, so we encourage everyone to arrive early. Those patrons who do not carry any items into FBFTO will enter more rapidly than those who bring items in with them. Guests are encouraged to leave belongings in their vehicles or at home whenever possible.

4) Law enforcement personnel will be present at entrances along with our staff to ensure guest safety. We thank our guests for their patience and cooperation in making your experience at FBFTO safe and enjoyable.

Yep. We appreciate plastic just as much as the next person, but cash is king at the Festival.

We have teams walking around (pictured) that will be selling tokens and they'll only accept cash. We're not saying empty your bank account, but be prepared if you want to move around quickly. ATMs will be on site. Token Booths do accept Credit Card Payments, but we always reco cash for getting 'er done quickly.

Tokens are the onsite currency. 1 token = $1. Most samples onsite are 1 token for a 4oz pour. Some brewers charge more: imports and premium brands. There are dedicated booths that sell tokens, along with mobile token teams. They will be easy to spot.

The quick answer is no... Bags are restricted to small purses, totes and drawstring bags only. Bag size may not exceed 14” x 11” x 5” (35cm x 28cm x 12cm), or 30 linear inches (75cm) in total, and must have no more than one singular pocket or opening. We’ll be using metal detector wands and searching all small bags, totes, and drawstring bags at the gate - it's not that we don't trust you, it's just how it goes! You've all been to events before and witnessed someone giving security a hard time over searching their belongings. The reason we do it is not because you're a criminal, but because we want everyone to be safe and have a great time.

We will have designated smoking areas on the grounds where smoking is permitted. If our security staff see you smoking outside these designated areas they will ask you to extinguish your smoke and move to the proper area. If you refuse to abide by the smoking policy, our security staff will kindly ask you to leave the festival grounds. We don't want to do that - lets just have fun and be courteous to everyone so we can all have a good time!

You will be allowed to enter the festival with a small quantity of "personal use only" cannabis (recreational or medicinal) in a pre-rolled format (max 3 pre-rolled, single-wide at 68-70mm in length). Entry will be denied for anyone with loose leaf cannabis, cannabis edibles / oils or other cannabis products. All other illegal substances are strictly prohibited.
