Your safety and security are most important to us. The following details will outline our general venue’s guidelines: https://www.livenation.com/venueguidelines.

Strollers are allowed, but are subject to search. Please note, there is nowhere for them to be stored. The lawn has an incline that makes it unsafe for strollers to be on the lawn.

We have several parking areas and we condone and even, promote, responsible tailgating. Tailgating can be a very big part of making the event fun and memorable for you. That being said, the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages, in our parking areas, actually violates a local Gilford ordinance. Underage drinking and/or intoxication, will most certainly cause you to miss the show and may lead to being arrested.

Some shows do allow audio recording so please contact us prior to the event you are attending to confirm if this will be allowed.

Traffic is controlled by local law enforcement and the venue. If there are any major traffic issues that will impact the start of the event, we will post this information on our social media pages.
