What time does the festival start and end?
The bash as a whole runs from 2:00 PM to 12:30 AM. Some venues will start later or run a bit past that depending on final act confirmations. The full schedule is rolling out venue by venue.
Is this all ages?
Can I move between venues?
Yes — your Blockout Bash Pass is your move token between participating venues (see The Spaces), subject to capacity and safety holds at each stop.
Where do I park or take transit?
Everything happens on one walkable block in Old North. There is nearby street and lot parking, and COTA bus lines stop just steps away. Lyft, Uber, and taxis are available. The area is bike and pedestrian friendly. See The Board map to explore further.
