What to Bring
Rosebud Special Receipt
If you purchased the Rosebud Special package it will be helpful at the gate if you ahve your receipt. It's not necessary - we'll be able to find your goodies, but it will speed up the process and help us with tracking documentation.
Be sure to bring your camp chairs and blankets! The Parking Lot Party is taking over the lawn this year, and while we don't provide seating, we're still small enough that you won't have to stand through one set just to race across the grounds for the next one - we'll definitely be that big someday! To revel in a full day of live music, settle into a comfy chair or spread out a blanket and make yourself at home. Just be sure to leave some room for dancing to the awesome bands in the lineup!
The festival grounds are cozy enough that you won't need hiking boots or running shoes to get around, but if you feel the vibe and the music gets hold of you, you could be dancing for hours!
The Parking Lot Party happens rain or shine. We'll have a tent hunker down in if the skies open up, but bathroom breaks will require a quick sprint through the elements. Plan accordingly - soggy socks and good times don't always mix.
We fully expect a beautiful day, so bring your sun gear!
• The right hat can help you look great and keep you safe from the sun
• Don't forget the sunscreen, preferably lotion - you don't want to get sunburned at the bash
• If you plan on playing games outside the tent, you'll want those sunglasses so you can see to win
• If all that sunshine makes for a hot day, a personal pocket fan might be the key to keeping you cool
Why we fully expect a beautiful day, we could be wrong...
• A rain poncho or jacket will keep you dry as you the restrooms, vendors, or to the games area
• A hot Michigan day can turn into a cold Michigan night - bring layers and blankets to stay cozy
What NOT to Bring
Outside Food & Drink
You'll love the dining options we'll have available all day. We'll also have a range of refreshemnts optons for all ages and tastes.
Coolers
We'll have plenty of cold food and drink options so you won't need coolers.
Musical Instruments
We get it, great live music makes bringing an instrument to join the band sound awesome, but our talented musical artists are here to share their music and artistry as they intended it to be experienced, so we ask that you leave your instruments at home.
If you're planning to participate in the music collaboration, bring your instruments and performance gear and check in at the Ignite the Arts information desk when you arrive. We'll point you in the right direction and get you stage-ready.
Potentially Dangerous Items
While most people know obvious dangerous items like firearms, weapons, and fireworks, don't belong at the party, there are a few less obvious items to keep in mind as well. If your umbrella has a sharp or pointed tip, it's best to leave it at home, and the Jarts game should absolutely skip this outing. Just remember to give your gear a quick once-over and make sure anything you bring is safe for everyone around you.
Parking
There is a baseball tournament in the park on Party day, July 18, so parking will be at a premium.
You'll find several parking options marked on the map, but we recommend starting with the South Lot, because it's the furthest from the ball diamonds and most likely to have parking spots available.
That said, you're welcome to park in any available space within the lots designated on the map. With the tournament in town, finding a parking spot may take a little extra time, so be prepared.
