KELOWNA - As we are all counting down the days on our road to rock, attempting to squeeze into our leather pants and packing extra hairspray, here are a few tips and some highlights that you should know.

Entrance Policy

If you have not picked up your Rock the Lake ticket, please head to the box office at Prospera Place to do so.

All patrons must have a wrist band to enter the event. Once the wristband is on DO NOT take it off

Wristbands will be coloured to indicate which day you have access to or if you have a weekend pass.

The 3 Day wristbands have been designed to be waterproof, sweat proof and teenage rage proof so they will last the weekend!

Tickets should be exchanged for wristbands PRIOR to the event

All patrons MUST be present at the time of ticket redemption to receive a wrist band (no wrist bands will be given out that are not affixed)

Wristbands are available at Prospera Place (see on-site signage for details)

- Wednesday August 10th - 9:30 to 17:30

FYI’s

The entire site is non-smoking including vaporizers.

There is no outside food or drink allowed. However, if you bring in an EMPTY plastic water bottle, there will be water stations that you can use to fill them up!

Alcohol will be served, two pieces of Government issued ID will be necessary to purchase and or consume alcohol. Alcohol service is limited to two drinks per person per transaction.

This event is BYOC – bring your own chair! If you would like to leave your chair at the venue overnight, there will be a ‘chair check’ option for an additional fee.

The GA Floor (see map) is for those who are lovin’ every minute of it and want to turn it loud! No chairs will be allowed here.

Prospera Place will be open so you can cool off and use the washrooms or visit the concession inside.
