Parking

  • We’ve got room for about 1,200 cars right here on the grounds. We’ll also be running a free Express Shuttle from parking at Montpelier High School to the Do Good Fest site. The shuttle will run on a regular schedule to and from the festival grounds starting at 2:30 PM.

    Finally, purchase a VIP ticket and you'll receive a parking spot that's only steps away from the festival.

  • Not to worry. We’ll be running free shuttle buses to the festival from Montpelier High School starting at 2:30 PM. We've got all sorts of travel information compiled here.

Experience

  • Each year, we host a variety of food trucks, local restaurants, and world-class breweries who will be serving up pizza, burgers, Greek food, and everything in between. Check out this year’s food vendors here.

  • All food/drink vendors are cash only. Attendees who purchase a VIP ticket will enjoy a free buffet inside the National Life building.

  • We encourage you to bring a refillable, non-glass water bottle/container to cut down on plastic. Make sure to check out the Water Monsters on site, where you can refill your container if needed.

  • Our number one priority is making sure Do Good Fest attendees have a safe experience. We have paramedics on site if you're having a medical emergency during the fest, and we also have a dedicated first aid tent.
