There will plenty of ADA accessible parking on-site. The main entrance is accessible. Should a line form, you may proceed to the front and ask a gate manager to help expedite your entry. Additional details regarding ADA access will be updated closer to the event. If you have specific requirements that you’d like to discuss with a Day for Night staff member, please send an email to info@dayfornight.io with “ADA Access” in the subject line.

Day for Night is an all ages event. However, children 16 and under are only allowed if accompanied by a parent and under close parental supervision at all times. Children 5 and under are free, but are highly recommended to wear protective gear over their ears to protect their hearing.

Medical stations will be located throughout the festival site. Paramedics and EMTs will be roaming the festival site as well. Remember, medical staff are there to help you under any circumstances. Not to judge you. Not to arrest you. They are there only to make sure you are safe. If you, or a friend, feel ill for any reason whatsoever, immediately check in with our medical staff to make sure all is well. Your safety is more important than anything.

Houston is not only a dynamic city, but also an incredibly resilient one. While many in our city experienced life-altering losses during and after the storm, we are recovering quickly thanks to the tireless spirit of our amazing residents and their on-going relief efforts. Hurricane Harvey showed us that Houstonians are ready to help their neighbors at a moment’s notice in the face of adversity. That being said, Day for Night will show support through fundraising efforts to help get people back on their feet.

Day for Night aims to make the festival experience one that you won’t forget. That being said, memories of people making you feel uncomfortable or harassed are the kinds of memories we will avoid at all costs. Day for Night does not tolerate any kind of harassment, from non-consensual touching to inappropriate comments. We want all participants to immediately notify Day for Night security or staff if they experience or witness these kinds of behaviors as we will work to make sure it doesn’t happen again so that you feel safe at the festival.

Day for Night has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind and we want to make sure everyone feels comfortable in the festival environment regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, age, body size, disability, appearance, religion, citizenship, or pregnancy.

Harassment includes (but is not limited to): inappropriate physical contact, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, offensive comments, verbal or physical intimidation, stalking, and physical assault.

2-day General Admission with entry to all stages, art installations, and GA areas on festival campus.

2017 is already booked, however if you are interested in playing 2018, please direct all inquiries to Chris Wise at chris@dayfornight.io.

It is our aim for Day for Night attendees to be as engaged as they walk from stage to stage as when they’re watching their favorite band. We believe disassociating art and music is boring. With dozens of art installations throughout our festival campus, you can explore awe inspiring installations when you’re not dancing to the music.

Houston is rapidly approaching the distinction of becoming the third largest city in the US. The greater Houston area has a population of over 5 million and we have seen a recent renaissance in arts, music and culture. We can put a man on the moon and throw a bad ass party.
