As of now every venue at THE FEST 7 is 18+ except 1982 and The Kick Stand.
This is a rule of the city of Gainevsille.
However, if you are under 18 you may be admitted if you are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The parent or legal guardian also must pay to attend. You may have one parent or legal guardian for a group of minors. So, if your mom and dad want to take you and your five best friends to THE FEST then they have to be responsible for all of you. It would help at some venues to maybe bring signed permission slips from every parent with contact info too. Damn, this is starting to sound like a field trip.
EVERYONE ATTENDING FEST 7 MUST HAVE A VALID ID WITH BIRTH DATE TO GET INTO ANY OF THE VENUES. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! If you don’t have a driver’s license then you must have a legal ID or Passport. College IDs will not work.
All of the venues are in walking distance. The Venue, The Atlantic, Market Street Pub, Common Grounds, and The Kickstand are all in a four block radius. 1982 is about 11 blocks from the Atlantic and 8 blocks from The Venue. These are all walking blocks. Gainesville has a very small downtown.
The Gainesville Regional Airport is a quick cab ride to downtown. They mainly use Atlanta as a hub. Check there, but Jacksonville, Tampa, or Orlando are usually cheaper.
Also, check out: Runways it is a shuttle service that runs from Jacksonville/Orlando Airport to Gainesville and back daily. Pretty cheap if you book 4 folks together plus you can sleep in the A/C.
Gainesville also has a Greyhound station that is in walking distance from downtown or a short cab ride.

I think it might even work anywhere until after THE FEST so go somewhere this weekend.
Nope.
Nope. In fact, if we sell enough FEST 7 weekend passes we might have to not allow individual door prices for shows. So, in simpler terms. If you want to just go to see the certain shows then just check the FEST 7 website before you head to Gainesville. I would just quit your job, buy a weekend pass and see a ton of bands. But that is just me and I’m crazy like that.
