Can I bring my kids? What do children pay?
Yes. Every day, including Sunday, is open to the whole family. Ages 6–13 pay $20 for Friday, $25 for Saturday, half the adult price for Sunday, and a reduced Youth Weekend Pass price (see Tickets & Passes). Children 5 and under attend every day free and still need to be registered by name. Attendees 14 and older use adult passes. Sunday and Weekend admission make you eligible to reserve a seat on the Sunday Patriot Riverboat cruise; admission itself doesn’t reserve or guarantee one. Advance reservation is required, and seating is limited and first-come, first-served.
What if I can’t make it? Refunds and transfers
You can request a refund until 11:59 PM Eastern Time on March 19, 2027, by emailing tickets@beatsandbarsbbq.com with your order number. Admission transfers aren’t self-service; contact the same address for help with an eligible transfer. See Ticket Holder Rights & Responsibilities for the details.

Is the event accessible? How do I ask for an accommodation?
Beats & Bars is an outdoor event, much of it on grass. We’re still confirming restroom, route, parking and drop-off, and boat-access details, and we’ll post them once they’re verified. If you need an accommodation, tell us what would help: email info@beatsandbarsbbq.com, or use the request form on your order page after you register. You don’t need to share a diagnosis. We review each request individually and follow up personally.
