Inclement Weather
Events at Grind City Amphitheater are on rain or shine!
In the event of severe weather (including lightning or severe high winds), a concert may be delayed, postponed, or cancelled depending on the severity of the threat.

For GA shows, patrons can purchase a normal ticket to the event. There is a dedicated viewing area near the front of house mix position (the sound board – about 80ft directly in front of center stage) for every GA show. Patrons can freely access the area and are welcome to ask any Grind City Amp team member for assistance at any point during your visit to the venue.

Service Animals
Grind City Amphitheater’s policy – consistent with the ADA standard definition – limits a “service animal” to a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.
Under ADA standards, “comfort,” “therapy,” or “emotional support animals” do not meet the definition of a service animal. GCMF can request specific documentation and/or advanced notice for service animals.
If you’d like to provide advanced notice, please contact Guest Services at music[at]grindcityamp.com, or click below.
Signs larger than 8.5 X 11 inches are not permitted in the venue. This is the size of a standard sheet of paper. Large banners and signs are not allowed in the venue due to the potential to block guests view of the performance. All signs must be appropriate in nature and not a distraction to the artist.
The standard venue policy allows camera phones, disposable cameras, and small digital cameras. Any camera that has a detachable lens will be considered professional and not allowed in. If the camera lens zooms out of the camera more than 1 inch, it will be considered a professional camera and will not be allowed through security.
Cancellations can occur in the event of severe weather, artist cancellation, or an act of God. In the event of a show cancellation, messaging will go out across all Festival social media platforms, as well as through local media channels, to communicate information about a potential reschedule or relocation of the event. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase only.
Grind City Amphitheater does not allow weapons of any kind in the venue. No patron will be allowed to enter the venue with a weapon. The venue will not secure weapons and will not take responsibility for any weapons left in vehicles. Leave them at home and enjoy the music!
