The Steel Pier will be accessible to all festival guests this weekend. The pier has a private entrance to the Ocean front beaches where you will find our stages, interactive areas, art installations, VIP Areas, additional concession areas, volleyball, hammocks, Lounge chairs and so much more for an all encompassing festival site."
