Bill Burr’s performance on August 13th will be a phone-free experience. Use of phones, smart watches and accessories will not be permitted on the festival grounds during that time. Upon arrival at the event you will be given a Yondr pouch. If you have a General Admission ticket you will be required to secure and lock your phone, smart watch and accessories in the pouch upon entry. If you have a VIP Reserved ticket, you must place your phone, smart watch and accessories in it and lock it when instructed. This process will be monitored by security and event staff. Guests maintain possession of their devices at all times, guests can access their devices during this period only in the designated Phone Use Area within the grounds. All devices will be re-secured in Yondr pouches before returning to the performance space. Event staff will unlock your Yondr pouch as you exit the grounds. Anyone seen using a device (phone, smart watch or accessories) during the performance will be escorted out of the grounds by security. We appreciate your cooperation in creating a phone-free experience. All pouches and equipment are routinely sanitized. The Yondr staff is trained and required to follow safety guidelines and hygiene protocols.

Don’t fight for parking – hop on the official GOCF Halifax shuttle to and from the Garrison Grounds sponsored by Casino Nova Scotia!  Shuttle is free to all with a ticket to that day’s show.  Shuttle will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at ½ hour before doors, leaving every ½ hour. First come, first serve.
