Never missed a Strawberry? Joining us for the first time? Just love reading stuff? We’ve got some helpful guidelines for you!
Thank you for reading, and please stay tuned for important guidelines about the Strawberry Stroll, compost bins, and more coming soon!
We have eliminated the sale of products packaged in single-use plastic. You can help support this effort by planning ahead!
There are numerous potable water spigots throughout camp, and filtered water stations will be available in at least four convenient locations across the Fairgrounds to keep you hydrated and healthy. See your festival map (included in Gate Handout) to find a filtered water station near you.
Biodegradable cups and cutlery are used in the Food Court.
Bikes and motorized devices are not allowed on the Music Meadow or in the Food Court.
Only ride bikes on designated pathways. Only authorized members of Strawberry Staff with special placards may ride bikes and/or motorized devices in prohibited areas.
Please wear your helmet! We want our Strawberrians healthy, happy, and safe. It is legally required by California state law (Cal. Veh. Code § 21212) for those under the age of 18 to wear a helmet.
Segways, hoverboards, and other electronic non-mobility devices are not allowed.
Please note we will enforce a speed limit of 5 mph for everyone, including, but not limited to, e-bikes, mobility devices, and really fast runners.
What does “arrive early” mean? In the Entrance Plan included with your ticket(s), there is an entry time for prebanding — either 10:30am or 1:30pm. You do not need to be at the Fairgrounds at 10:30am on the dot, we just want you there anytime after 10:30am. 10:35am? Wonderful. 10:40am? Even better. 10:45am? Ok, superstar!
If you arrive 30 minutes early, we will send you down the road to wait in a nearby parking lot. Please do not create a hazardous or discourteous situation by lining up or parking along McCourtney Road prior to the approved arrival time stated in the Entrance Plan sent with your ticket(s).
Once again for good measure! Please arrive at or after the arrival/pre-banding time listed on your Entrance Plan. This applies to all staff, vendors, volunteers, and patrons.
Those who arrive early will be sent to the back of the line. Please contact us if you have any questions about your arrival time at (209) 984-8630 or info@strawberrymusic.com. Thank you for your cooperation!
Persons found on-site with a non-service animal will be escorted off the festival grounds, but may return without the animal. Strawberry Music, Inc. reserves the right to refuse service to any individual whose conduct poses a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or service animals.
As we have in previous years, we will adhere to a strict service animal policy. Service animals will be banded at the Box Office or Command Post by a member of our Safety & Security Staff. After the service animal has been credentialed, the owner will not likely be approached again unless the animal causes a problem. The service animal needs to be leashed and under the direct control of the owner at all times. It is a crime to misrepresent a pet as a service animal (California Penal Code 365.7 PC).
We appreciate your cooperation and dedication to fire safety!
Thank you!
