✨ Here’s our Festival Tent etiquette for the weekend! ✨

Our Marine City Maritime Days tent schedule is absolutely packed with activities, so we just want to share a few simple guidelines to help keep things running smoothly and enjoyable for everyone.

🍽️ Guests may bring in food and non-alcoholic beverages purchased from carnival vendors or local restaurants.
🪪 Everyone consuming alcohol will have ID checked & receive a wristband.
👨‍👩‍👧 All ages are welcome in the tent. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
🚫 No outside alcohol is permitted in the tent.
💧 No outside water bottles that are not clear/see-through are allowed.
🪑 No outside chairs are permitted inside the tent.
🐾 No animals in the tent. (Service animals welcome)

🎟️ The tent is always free to enter throughout the entire weekend — no charge at any time.

📍 The tent is located in Nautical Mile Park — and you’ll have a great view of the Lighted Boat Parade, fireworks and the drone show right from the tent!

We appreciate everyone’s help in making this a safe, fun, and welcoming space all weekend long!
