Festival goers can bring their own portable seating for general admission or partake in the upgraded experience of the VIP lounges. The lounges have specialty bars, whiskey and wine tasting, culinary treats, indoor restrooms and priority seating near the stage. Additionally, seating is available in the Chef de Cuisine food court, beer garden and along the waterfront.

San Francisco/Bay Area attendees can take the SF Bay Ferry to and from the festival.

The Dock of Bay festival is close to the Mare Island Bay Ferry Terminal for ease when traveling.

Daily tickets are $95 for general admission, $150 for VIP or $250 for Premium VIP. All ticketing options come with complimentary parking.For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit dockofbayfest.com.
