Tips & Info

• How much does it cost to get into ComFest?
  

  The Community Festival is free to attend!  There are no tickets or cover charges.
  
  

• Where is ComFest? How do I get there?  Where do I park?
  

  The festival is held in Goodale Park, near downtown Columbus, Ohio.
  
  Because of the traffic caused by our event, and to help the environment, we highly recommend riding a bicycle and using our free bicycle valet, or riding the COTA bus which will be running late on Friday and Saturday.
  
  If you must drive, you should park in the Arena District, as most street parking in the neighborhood requires a residential parking permit; cars parked illegally in the neighborhood will be towed.
  
  For more info, visit our Getting to ComFest page.
  

• When are my volunteer shifts?
  

  If you have already signed up and need a list of your shifts, just send an email to myshifts@comfest.com, and our shift robot will reply with shift details and important info.
  

• How do I volunteer for a first or additional shift?
  

  Visit our Volunteer Central booth starting Friday morning.

• What's the minimum age to attend?
  

  ComFest is open to all ages, however for their own safety, we ask that children be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

• Can I bring alcoholic beverages from home?
  

  NO!  Carry-in alcohol is illegal in city parks.  Police officers will be present at the event to enforce all laws.  ComFest will have multiple Beer and Wine booths on Park Street and Goodale Street.  Avoid a ticket (or worse) by buying your alcoholic beverages at the festival.

• Are coolers allowed at ComFest?
  

  As long as you are not bringing alcoholic beverages, coolers are fine at the event.  If you bring something into the park, please take it back home with you.  Otherwise, make sure to clean up after yourself, and use one of the recycling areas located throughout the event.
