Festival entrance is FREE and no tickets are needed. Yeah, you read that right, FREE for award-winning Texas music lineup!
Credit cards are accepted most everywhere - at the beverage tent, food trucks, festival merchandise tent, band merchandise, and some vendor tents. But we do recommend bringing some cash just in case. 😊
Sorry, but we DO NOT ALLOW COOLERS or outside food/beverages in the festival. So if you are carrying one, you might want to run back to your vehicle before jumping on the shuttle bus. Why? Because our food trucks and drink vendors work extremely hard to provide you with all you need for tasty meals and a huge variety of cold beverages.
This includes festival attendees coming by boat too. Please do not bring any outside food or drinks. This keeps our vendors happy and coming back each year to support Lago Fest.
Our amazing sponsor, CapMetro, (https://www.capmetro.org)provides FREE air conditioned shuttle service from our shuttle stop which will be at the Lago Vista High School Parking Lot. They are fast, safe, and friendly, or there will be $20 onsite parking available!
Shuttles run continuously beginning at 12:45 pm until everyone is out of the park after the festival ends at 8:00 PM. Shuttles strive to make round trips every 15 minutes.
First, some important notes you'll want to know for riding on the shuttles:
• As per CapMetro policies, pets, emotional support and comfort animals are NOT allowed on the buses. Service animals are the only animals permitted on Cap Metro buses. They may not occupy a seat or block the aisle. Please make sure your service animal has a proper service vest to avoid any confusion.
• You may bring strollers, umbrellas, chairs, blankets, sunscreen... anything you need for the kiddos and for yourself. Games, frisbees, swimsuits... you name it. However, ALL of your items must fit on your lap or under the seat in front of you. Small items may fit between your legs. Please BE PREPARED - fold all chairs and strollers BEFORE shuttle arrives for pick up.
• For ADA information, please see links at bottom of this page.
• Sorry, but we DO NOT ALLOW COOLERS OR ALCOHOL in the festival. So if you are carrying one, you might want to run back to your vehicle before jumping on the shuttle bus. Why? Because our food trucks and drink vendors work extremely hard to provide you with all you need for tasty meals and a huge variety of cold beverages.

When you approach the festival, you will check in at the Bar-K Park entrance, directly in front of the Grand Pavilion. There will be a parking attendant at the entrance. From there the parking attendants will guide you to the check-in point. At the check-in point you will pay for parking. If you already have a parking pass the attendant will check your credentials and help guide you down to the designated event parking area.
***Please keep in mind, that from the corner of the K-Oaks Clubhouse at the Bar-K Ranch Road/Paseo De Vaca intersection, this will be paid parking ONLY from that point on!***
Special permit parking falls under the following: VIP Lounge, Sponsor Parking, Artist/Vendor Parking, and Volunteer Parking.
Your parking pass MUST be on your dashboard at all times. If you forget your parking pass or don’t have one, you will need to pay for another parking pass. No exceptions!
At LAGO FEST, we take access for persons with a disability very seriously.
SHUTTLE BUSES: CapMetro is wheelchair accessible and will provide other services to make your ride to the festival more enjoyable. Visit their Accessibility page HERE to learn more about their services.(https://www.capmetro.org/accessibility/)
ADA ACCESSIBLE PARKING: Special parking is available for patrons with disabilities on the festival site. Space is limited and first come, first served. Proper identification on the vehicle is required.
ADA parking is available patrons with a disability ONLY WHEN THEY ARE IN THE VEHICLE. Forget about driving Grandpa's car and expecting a handicap spot. No way.
ABUSE OF HANDICAP PLATES OR PLACARDS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AT LAGO FEST: Not infrequently, handicap vehicle designations are used by a family member or a friend who has borrowed a disabled person's car, or has placed the tag on his or her own car. Be the kind, cool person we know you are. Put yourself in their position and realize that abuse of handicap tags keeps a person with a true disability from having a manageable place to park. The festival should be fun and easy to enjoy for everyone.
SERVICE & THERAPY DOGS (PETS): Dogs who are officially licensed by the State of Texas as a Service or Therapy dog are welcomed with open arms at the festival. To avoid confusion with other patrons with regard to our "no pet" policy, we ask that you please have your dog WEAR THEIR SERVICE ANIMAL VEST.
You sure can! In fact we encourage it, just throw em' in your car if you're paying for parking or bring em' along with you on the shuttle. As long as it fits on your lap or in between your legs or on an empty seat on the CapMetro shuttle buses, you're free to bring them.
Feel free to bring toys for your kids. We'll have fun stuff to do, but it's always nice to bring their favorite toys.
NO COOLERS are allowed!!! All food and drinks are available in the festival, so no outside food and deinks will be permitted. You won't want to miss it. Yum!
And remember to fold up strollers BEFORE the shuttle bus arrives to ensure quick loading.
We encourage you to visit all of our arts & crafts vendor booths to buy what you love regardless of size! We make it easy 😊
Ask your vendor if they can hold your piece for you in their booth until you're ready to leave for the day. When you are ready, a volunteer and the artist can help arrange for you to drive down into the show site to put the artwork in your car.
Again, we always encourage you to look for one of our volunteers in the BLACK 🖤 VOLUNTEER t-shirts, or any of our production staff wearing official Blue 💙 LAGO FEST t-shirts.
We know how fun it is to be boating on Lake Travis on the weekend! So we welcome you to come by boat as long as the water level permits. As of mid-February 2026, the current lake water level 667 feet would require you to moor in water, swim to shore and scramble up the bank.
Make sure you come into the festival site to have lunch, enjoy some ice cold beer and soda from the beer tent, and buy yourself or friend something special from the arts & crafts booths. Think about it... If you don't do this, these fine folks won't have a reason to come back next year. And if they don't come back, then, well.... you know. So c'mon in and do LAGO FEST the way it's meant to be done - with total awesomeness!
BOATER SAFETY RULES:
• Please refer to the LVPOA page for current Boat Rules and Regulations for Bar-K Park HERE.(https://lvpoa.nabrnetwork.com/hoapage.php?page=gen_7_1408)
YESSSSSS! 🎉🎉🎉
Locals who possess a valid driver's license can arrive in their golf cart, UTV or ATV, but you will be required to purchase a $20.00 parking pass just like a regular vehicle. ALL TRAFFIC from any type of motorized vehicle are only permitted on the roads. No traffic will be allowed on the Festival grounds!
We look forward to seeing you out there at LAGO FEST this year!
CapMetro doesn't allow for your furbabies to ride along. Unless, of course, you have a service dog with vest on.
If you're coming by boat, vehicle or walking in, we're not going to banish Fido. But PLEASE make sure your doggie is sweet and mellow. Some folks, and tiny tots, may be skiddish around dogs.
If you bring Fluffy into the festival or around the event site, PLEASE be cool and pick up after them.... if you catch our drift.
We want you to enjoy yourself all day long! Here's a list of things you can bring as well as some rules.
THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO BRING:
• Folding chairs*
• Small umbrellas*
• Sunscreen
• Swimsuit
• Towels
• Picnic blankets
• Appetite
• Dancing shoes
• Cameras
• Mom - so you can buy her something special from our vendors.
• Kids

HINT: Cash can help you get through the beer and wine tent more quickly.
RULES:
• Large items such as chairs and umbrellas MUST be able to fit on your lap or between your legs on the shuttle buses to ensure adequate egress for all other passengers. Strollers should be folded before shuttles arrive for quicker loading.
DON'T FORGET THE ESSENTIALS!
