Got questions about WVBF? We’ve got you covered. 🍻
Here are a few things to know before you head to the festival:
⏰ Drinking starts at noon: gates open at noon, then you’ll go through an ID and bag check, grab your wristband and WVBF sampling mug.
💧 Free water stations will be available, so bring an empty reusable water bottle to fill up throughout the day.
🍺 Last call is at 4:30PM, with final pours at 4:45PM. Then keep the day going at Longhorn Oktoberfest from 5PM until 1AM.
🌮 Come hungry. Local food vendors will be serving throughout the festival. Outside food is not permitted.
🐾 Pets are not permitted, unless they are registered service animals with identification.
🔞 WVBF is 19+ : minors, including infants and toddlers, cannot enter the festival grounds due to liquor licensing requirements.
🚶 Getting there: The festival is easily accessible from the Village Stroll, with parking available in Day Lots and underground hotel parking. Please plan a safe ride home if you’re drinking.
🚪 No re-entry once you leave the festival grounds, so make sure you have everything you need with you.
