As you navigate the App, you can star your favorite artists, food vendors, live entertainment, and other activities. You can add to your schedule, set up alerts, and build your optimal experience. Once you have selected all your favorites, simply visit the “My Festival” tab to keep track of everything you want to do! The map feature will keep you oriented on your route, and help you find key locations. In addition to planning ahead with the app, you can also receive real-time notifications. Throughout the Festival, you might receive notifications of time/venue adjustments, weather alerts, special deals, and more! The App will continually update in real-time and is a great complement to our traditional printed program guide and website!
