📣 Top Tips To Know Before You Go

Whether you are biking, taking a ferry, driving, or ridesharing, visit our Travel Info Page on our website for all your trip logistics to Fort Adams.

If you decide to come by car, please be aware that on-site parking is limited and likely to sell out. To guarantee parking at Fort Adams, we strongly recommend purchasing a parking ticket in advance. Once the on-site parking area is full, vehicles will be directed to parking at Brenton Point. From there, complimentary shuttle services will be available to transport you to and from Fort Adams. We encourage you to pre-purchase your parking pass to ensure a smooth arrival.

To help fans stay hydrated and to eliminate the use of plastic bottles, we offer free water refilling stations courtesy of our partners at 11th Hour Racing. Last year we eliminated over 51,000 single-use water bottles! So make sure you bring a water bottle or pick one up at Official Merch while supplies last.

Carbonated beverages hydrate too! So be sure to visit Spindrift, an official beverage partner. Their tent is located in front of the Museum near the main entrance.

We have some amazing food and craft vendors on site this year (including the return of Matunuck Oyster Bar!). Check out our full Food Vendors and Craft Vendors to see all your options.

NEW THIS YEAR: The Beer Pier & Beer Garden are now cashless. Please plan accordingly.

We have a great lineup of beverages in our Beer Pier & Beer Garden this year. Lawson's Finest and Whalers Brewing are joining us as our Official Beer Partners along with hard seltzers courtesy of Spindrift Spiked, hard cider from Stowe Cider, and wine options from 90+ Cellars. Drink responsibly, and please recycle your empties properly.

And for those of you who want to join friends in the Beer Pier and Beer Garden but do not drink alcohol, we will be offering a variety of non-alcoholic options – including NA beer from Athletic Brewing.

Stop by Official Merch near the entrance to pick up this year's selection of Jazz gear featuring our official poster, tees, sweatshirts, bandanas, water bottles, hats, towels, stickers, and more!

Stop by the Foundation Tent to learn about our membership program and the work we do year round to support music education. And if you’ve got little kids, check out our Family Tent, which offers activities all day long!

The less you bring, the faster the entrance gate lines go. This year, in addition to our regular entrance lanes, we will have dedicated lanes for ADA, families, and folks with small or no bags (9”x10”x12” maximum size).

Don't forget to bring your phone, sunscreen, water bottle, rain coat, and positivity. Visit our Info Page to see a list of what you can and cannot bring. Please review it. There are many restricted items, so make sure you don't get stuck at the gate having to leave anything behind.
