Family Event:  Downtown Live is a family event.  From 2pm until 7pm there is a huge Downtown Live kids zone complete with inflatables, bouncing houses, slides, and pony rides.  Also, expect visits from many of the area sports teams.  All ages are welcomed at Downtown Live, but you must be 21 to consume alcohol.  If you plan on consuming alcohol, please remember to bring a valid I.D.
What can I bring inside the park?
You MAY bring:

  • One bottled water
  • Needs for children (i.e. diapers, strollers, etc.)
  • Blankets and chairs
  • Umbrellas

You may NOT bring:

  • Professional recording or camera equipment.  Professional cameras are defined as cameras with a detachable lense.  Small digital and phone cameras are okay.
  • Food or Beverage (including alcohol).  There are a wide variety of local food vendors set up inside the park, in additional beer and beverage stations.
  • Pets, even if on a leash.  No pets allowed of any kind.
  • No coolers, bags, picnics, bikes, rollerblades.

Forget something?:  Fear not, there is a full service Convenience Store set up on site.  ATM’s are also available inside the park next to the Convenience Store.
Don’t Drink and Drive: A full-service taxi stand will be set-up outside the Blount and Martin St. exit of Downtown Live.
Rain or Shine: Downtown Live is a rain or shine event.  As they say in North Carolina: "If you don’t like the weather, stick around 15 minutes, it’ll change."  Us North Carolinians know that throughout the summer stray thunderstorms often pop up out of nowhere.  This may cause a slight delay in the schedule, but the show will go on.  Day of show stay tuned to 96Rock for weather updates.

    The camera policy needs to be eliminated. In the days when SLRs are cheap and quite a few non-SLR cameras exist that take SLR quality pictures (Panasonic LX3, Sigma DP2, etc) — and other cameras that are ones that are basically the same as SLRs but don’t detach, it doesn’t make much sense to me to not allow people to bring those kind of cameras.
