To make sure your entry to SCMF goes smoothly, take a look at our guide to what you can and cannot bring past the festival gates, before making your way to Ascarate Park. Get inspired by hometown hero Robert “The Tacos Guy” Rosales and wave your festival spirit pride with hand-made totems, flags, and costumes.

Few things are essential to enjoy Sun City Music Festival, yet there are other items that you shouldn’t leave home without! Most importantly, strap on your dancin’ shoes and don’t forget to bring your Sun City ticket (or proof of purchase) along with valid identification. Bring a copy of your ticket, either PDF or mobile QR code, along with photo ID to the gates of Sun City to collect your festival wristband.
