FOOD AND DRINKS
You can purchase BBQ food and a range of beverages including low and non-alcoholic drinks from our food vendors and bars, and there is plenty of free water.
We want to support our vendors as best we can so please do not bring any food or drink with you. Empty water bottles are permitted for refilling onsite.
URBAN BBQ TOKENS
The Urban BBQ Festival uses Urban BBQ tokens for purchases of food and drink from food vendors and bars, but not for any BBQ supplies stands in the Demo Stage area.
Urban BBQ tokens are sold in cards of 10 at a cost of $10 per card, and can be purchased at the Urban BBQ Token tent [cash and Eftpos] by the main entrance to the festival. Cash is much faster than Eftpos, so we advise bringing some with you to ensure a speedy purchase.​
​
Unused tokens can be refunded on the day only, at the token tent, up until 6pm. We refund amounts of $3 and up.​
DECK CHAIRS & UMBRELLAS
We will be supplying spaces to park up at the event, but these are limited, first in first served so head on down early. You are of course welcome to bring along your own chair, but we do ask you to consider others around you when using these chairs. We can’t allow umbrellas into the festival as they create a sight issue for patrons sitting behind. Free sunscreen will be available; however we encourage you to bring some extra sunscreen along to get you through the afternoon.
SMOKING
Please be considerate of others when smoking and dispose of cigarette butts in the ashtrays provided.
PASS-OUTS
You can leave the ground and re-enter by being scanned out, but you will be subject to the same security checks on the way back in.
