200,000 people is A LOT!

So here are a few quick tips to help you navigate the day like a pro using the Grand Old Day app:

🚲️ Know Your Transit Options
Biking, driving, or hopping on the bus? Use the app to find designated parking, get a free Metro Transit pass, or check out MOOV, our local rideshare partner, for easy drop-offs and pickups.

📱Open the App Before You Arrive
Cell service can get spotty with a crowd this size. Launch the app ahead of time so maps, schedules, and vendor info are fresh and ready to go.

🔔 Download & Turn on Notifications
While the app works in your browser, downloading it gives you the best experience—especially if you want real-time alerts when your bookmarked bands or events are starting.

🗺️ Use the Map to Stay Oriented
With six stages, hundreds of vendors, and plenty to do, the interactive map helps you find everything (and everyone) quickly.
