Can I bring my children and is this a family event?
Yes! We strive to make the Petaluma Music Festival an event that is appropriate for the whole family! Each child 12 and under is admitted free when accompanied by an adult with a ticket. Strollers are permitted and we have a great Kids Area with bouncy houses, petting zoo, face painting, and a giant slide!

Yes, there is an ADA section just to the right of the Festival Stage (main stage) just beyond the bleachers. You are welcome to sit in the chairs there and it is partially to fully shaded depending on where the sun tracks. There is a paved path to the ADA seating section and it is wheelchair accessible.

Just about anywhere! Low-profile lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged (low-profile lawn chair – no more than 30″ from ground to top of chair), and there is ample space for everyone on the large lawn areas in front of the Festival, Lagunitas, and Petaluma Stages. VIP ticket holders will have shaded reserved seats under a canopied area located on the lawn of the Festival Stage (Main Stage).
