Before the Festival

2025 When We Were Young Entry Policy

  • Cabana guests have a private entrance located on W. Sahara Ave (separate location from the main festival entrance). The email used during purchase will be sent a detailed map and all information about wristband pick up, check-in, bottle choices, etc. Please make sure to check the email that was used during purchase for this info! You will receive this email approximately 2 weeks before the festival.
  • Please also remember our updated bag policy — and  no liquids are allowed to be brought into When We Were Young.

How to Dress & What to Bring 

Dress for comfort and be sure to check the weather forecast before you head out the door. The festival grounds are a combination of paved surfaces and turf, so choose your footwear accordingly. We recommend a hat and sunglasses, along with your non-aerosol sunscreen, but if you forget anything, the Festival Store has lots of great merchandise offerings!
