FAQ

What do I get with my ticket?

A General Admission ticket will get you unlimited samples from 100+ MN Breweries, unlimited curated small-plate food, and a commemorative tasting glass. DD/Sober ticket holders will be able to enjoy the food and non-alcoholic beverages at the festival, but will not receive a tasting glass.

MNthusiasts with VIP tickets will be able to enter the fest and begin sampling 30 minutes early.

Will the event cancel due to snow?

No! Our event is all-weather and indoors.

Where do I check in?

Please check in at the Ecolab gates of U.S. Bank Stadium, located on the North side of the stadium on S. 4th Street. These are the only doors into the Stadium that will be open – you will not be able to enter through the skyway!

What do I need to bring?

Bring your ticket (printed or on your phone) and a valid 21+ photo ID. You may also bring an empty water bottle and snack necklaces. Bags will be subject to search (but the Stadium’s clear-bag policy will not be in effect).

Can I smoke/vape?

No. U.S. Bank Stadium is a smoke-free environment (including vapes, etc.) both inside and inside the security gates. Please plan your night accordingly.

What does ‘cocktail attire’ mean?

We encourage you to treat Winterfest as a special night out! We see everything from jeans and button ups to 3-piece suits at Winterfest. There is no strict dress code, but we do encourage you to dress in your version of ‘looking nice’.

Will there be a coat check?

Yes! There will be a free coat check once you enter the Ecolab gates.

What if I can’t find my ticket?

Your ticket was emailed to you when you purchased. If you cannot find it, please email or message us on social any time before the day of the fest to have your ticket resent.

I can’t make it – can I get refund?

We do not offer refunds on festival tickets. You are welcome to sell your ticket on your own – attendees names do not have to match the name on the ticket.
