General Information
Will there be a Shuttle Service?
We have added back a second shuttle stop in the Lakeside area which will be a much faster route to and from the festival grounds. This location will be at the Grand Trunk Boat launch located at Lakeshore and McCracken.
Second, we have adjusted to downtown Shuttle to pick up and drop off near the Delta Marriott Hotel at 3rd and Western. Both shuttle locations will be clearly marked with Pickup/Drop off A-frame banners.
Last, the Pere Marquette Shuttle Stop will be moved from right in front of the festival grounds to the backside of the Parking lot right across the street from the festival grounds (see photo below). This was done to help ease some congestion we get right at the time the gates let out. That area will also be clearly marked with Pickup/Drop off A-frame signage.
Shuttles will run from 11 am to 11 pm in a continuous loop. Please make sure you get on a shuttle early. As the traffic picks up at the beach the shuttles do run slower because of increased congestion at the beach. So we have added some time the run earlier in the day to help folks get to the beach.
Can I bring in a refillable water bottle?
Absolutely! The vessel MUST be empty when you enter the event. This includes Camelbacks. No exceptions. There are igloo cooler water stations located throughout the event space that you can use to fill up your vessels. A tip: let the water in the cooler run a bit, then it will get cold. Remember, we ARE on a beach with hopefully a lot of sun!
How can I contact the organizer with any other questions?
You can email us at info@lakeshoreguild.beer, or message us on our Facebook or Instagram page. Please remember that the week of the event, we are at the beach up to 14 hours a day building the event, so there will be delays in getting a response.
Can I bring a pop-up tent?
No, the Burning Foot site plan is not built to handle pop-up tents, but you are more than welcome to set them up outside the event space on the beach and enter and exit the festival grounds as you wish.
Is there shade / rain cover available?
Burning Foot is an open-air event so if there is a chance of rain please bring proper coverage. We also have a check-in area setup if you do not want to carry your items around with you.
Can I bring in a pretzel necklace?
Yes, but that is the only outside food allowed into the festival grounds.
Where can I park?
You can park anywhere along Beach Street or at any of Pere Marquette park’s parking lots. Come early if you want to park close. Please be aware that some parking spaces can be up to 1/2 mile away. You will have to PAY FOR PARKING. Daily passes can be purchased for $10, or you can purchase a yearly pass for $20. All parking passes must be purchased at the city-owned pay stations. If you are a resident of the City of Muskegon, your parking pass from the city applies!
Will there be food at Burning Foot?
YES! We will have Food Trucks to choose from, plus The Sandbox (VIP) has its own food options as well.
Will there be a Shoe/Chair Check-in area?
YES! Once again this year will be a shoe or beach chair check-in area.
