Policies apply to both Saturday and Sunday events unless indicated otherwise.
No audio/video recording equipment.
No carry-in coolers or beverages.
No weapons. Security personnel will visually inspect the contents of bags and large purses prior to entrance into the venue. Banned items discovered during inspection will be confiscated.
Upon request, attendees must present satisfactory proof of age and identification at the entrance gate.
Upon being presented a valid ticket, event staff will apply a non-reusable wristband to each Bluesfest attendee. Color codes will identify each attendee as under or over 21 years of age. Wristbands permit free pass out from and re-entry in to Riverside, and serve as proof of ticket purchase. Anyone over the age of 12 found not wearing an event-issued wristband or official event ID will be ejected from the venue.
The venue boundaries will be clearly marked. No alcoholic beverages may be carried across a venue boundary at any time. To prevent the entry of intentionally mislabeled alcohol, no beverages of any kind, including bottled water, may be carried into the venue.
K.C. Geiger Park is a municipal facility. Security will be provided by private event staff and the City of St. Marys Police Department.
Please turn off cell phone ringers within the audience area.
Children age 12 and under will be admitted free, but will not be given wristbands. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children will not be permitted to pass out from or re-enter in to Riverside without an adult escort.
Please do not bring pets. No animals will be permitted inside the venue except service animals (e.g. seeing-eye dogs).
The Riverside Bluesfest will proceed rain or shine. Umbrellas will not be permitted. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
In accordance with Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3974, smoking will be prohibited in all Riverside areas under roof with three or more walls.
