Drop Dead Beach Bash – Know Before You Go 🎶🌴
Host Hotel
Where should I stay?
Our host hotel is the Holiday Inn Express & Suites St. Petersburg – Madeira Beach, just 2 miles from the venues. Complimentary shuttle service will be available.
Prefer to stay elsewhere? Totally fine!
ROC Park 🏞️
Where is ROC Park located?
200 Rex Place, Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Can I bring my own drinks?
No outside alcohol is permitted in or out of the park. Please don’t try to smuggle beverages in reusable cups—we’ve all thought about it, but it won’t fly. If you arrive with a drink, you’ll be asked to discard it before entering or exiting.
Are coolers or large bags allowed?
No, please leave those at home.
Will there be drinks inside?
Yes! There will be a bar inside the park. GA and VIP will each have their own bar for efficiency.
Can I bring chairs, blankets, or towels?
Yes! There will be a designated section several feet back from the stage for chairs, blankets, and towels. Standing and dancing are encouraged, but we know long evenings can call for a seat.
What is “Chair Valet”?
Leave your chair at the end of Friday night with our Chair Valet (to the right of the exit gate). When you return Saturday, it’ll be waiting for you (now on your left as you enter). You can also leave it Saturday night. All chairs must be picked up by noon Sunday.
Will there be food?
Yes—food trucks will be on site (cuisine TBA).
Is there merchandise?
Yes! Festival merch + merch from performing artists will be available. Supporting the artists is always appreciated.
Should I bring cash?
YES! While most vendors accept cards, cash is handy for tips, donations, and in case of tech issues.
What about restrooms?
There will be a couple of full-plumbing restrooms, plus porta-johns/restroom trailers. Expect lines—festival life!
Will water be available?
Yes—free water. Please stay hydrated!
Any fun extras?
Yes! Splash pad games and activities (organized by Renee Adams) to keep cool. All proceeds go to ROC Park.
