FAQ
Will the festival still be free and open to the public?
A majority portion of the festival will be free and open to the public. There will however be a privacy fence around the main stage that may impede the vision line for anyone who hasn’t purchased a Music Access Pass. There will be bars, bathrooms, and activations on both sides of the fence, but only those with a Music Access Pass can go freely between. Buying a Music Access Pass is a way that you can directly support our efforts to bolster the creative economy in Jacksonville!
Will you be looking for volunteers this year?
Yes. If you have never volunteered for Winterland, follow us on social media. When we’re looking for new volunteers we’ll put a call out! If you are a habitual volunteer, thank you, we will send you an email when we’re looking to fill festival posts.
Are you looking for any event photographers?
We have a wonderful team who captures our official content, but you are free to bring your own camera. Just be sure to tag us on any photos you share. Also please note that you will not be allowed in the photo pit without a media pass. Additionally, please limit any flash photography during a band’s set to the first 2 songs. We will always ask before we repost and we will always give credit!
Can we bring chairs and coolers?
One of our favorite things about Winterland is posting up with a blanket and chairs and spending the weekend discovering new music! We certainly encourage everyone to bring a means to get cozy, but space will be limited in the park. Greenspace will be first come first serve and we encourage blankets over chairs. Please no coolers.
How do I submit my band?
We are not accepting open submissions this year, but we love to discover new music. Please send your EPK including links to your most recent release to info@winterlandpresents.org with the subject line ‘MUSIC SUBMISSION | [Insert your Band/Artist name].’
How can I get a Media Pass?
