CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD AND DRINKS?
Yes, you can bring in your own food and non-alcoholic beverages (concert only). There will also be many tasty burger and hot dog options at our on site BBQ.
Note: Bag check in effect: checking for alcohol, drugs or glass (baby food & bottles permitted). There will be an on-site bar with beer, wine, coolers, cider, water and other non-alcohol drinks.
WHAT DO I SIT ON?
The lower to the ground you are the closer you can sit to the stage. We encourage you to bring a blanket or tarp, no larger than 8’ x 10” or low legged chairs with a back height under 26”. All chairs must collapse and fit into a bag.
Post Festival: The Lost and Found takes a while to gather, sort and record… please contact the RCR office after July, 12th. Lost items will only be retained for a limited time.
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL NEED?
We will be offering golf cart transport from the parking location to the concert site.
HOW FAR IS IT TO THE CONCERT SITE FROM PARKING?
· Approximately 400 metres
WHAT SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE?
· Outdoor, portable toilets, as you leave the chairlift
· Food service BBQ by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies
· Symphony of the Kootenays Season Ticket sales
· On site First Aid
· Guided walk to the base of the hill after the concert (optional)
HOW DO I DRESS?
The Gala theme is Kootenay Casual so that means you are free to dress as you please but we encourage people to wear black and white. Whether that is a tuxedo and hiking boots, your formal dress or a black and white t=shirt. We encourage you to use your imagination and be part of the experience.
We suggest good walking shoes as the walk from the parking area has some uneven terrain.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER TURNS BAD OR IT RAINS?
The organizers will be making a final decision on the weather approximately 22 hours in advance. If it is determined that it is unsafe or weather conditions dictate that an outdoor concert is not feasible, we will be relocating the concert to the Kimberley Conference Centre, at the base of the ski hill. The Concert will be held at that location.
