Frequently Asked Questions
What time is Hookahville?
For Hookahville XXX, gates open at noon on Friday, August 29th (this is 'early bird" but is FREE with a regular ticket this year). The festival ends Monday, September 1 at noon. Click here/30/lineup.shtml for a schedule of bands.
Can we leave the festival grounds and re-enter?
Yes, but you will need to go through the main entrance and vehicle checkpoint each time you leave and return. To re-enter you will need your ticket stub AND your wristband. You may not be able to leave by car on Friday afternoon/evening when everyone is trying to get in.
What we will be providing?
There will be portapotty-bathrooms and potable water. Vendors will be selling a variety of reasonably priced foods and nonalcoholic beverages. There will be an ATM, but we recommend that you bring enough cash for your stay to avoid long lines or waiting for the machine to be serviced.
What emergency services will be available on site? What should I do if I need emergency assistance (medical, police, towing, locksmith, etc.)?
There will be 24 hour security and EMT's. If you need emergency medical or police attention, contact the nearest security official, go to the medical tent (the medical tent is next to the sheriff's department trailer to the right of the stage as you face it), ask a Hookahville staff member or volunteer or check at the merchandise booth for assistance.
Where should I go if I lose track of my child, or if I find a child who is lost?
If you find a lost child or cannot locate your own, please go to the Licking County Sheriff tent, located next to the medical tent and office trailer.
Will pets be allowed in the venue / camp grounds?
NO PETS - NO EXCEPTIONS!!! PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME. If a pet is found in your car you will be turned away - regardless how long you have waited in line or if you have tickets or not. Click here for kennel information.
What kind of handicap facilities are available?
There will be a designated parking/camping area for people with special accessibility needs behind the medical tent. Anyone with a legal handicap sign or license plate is welcome to camp in the handicap camp area with their car. We also honor any visible disability such as a broken leg or a wheelchair. There will be accessible restroom facilities and a wheelchair accessible space inside the concert area.
Where will we be camping/parking? Are we going to be able to camp next to our cars?
You'll be parking near the entrance and camping inside the venue. This is for your safety, to keep cars from running over tents and people. Be ready to carry your gear to your site or better yet, bring a wagon.
What will we be allowed to bring into the campgrounds? What can't we bring?
You can bring your own food, beverages and gear into the campground areas. Acoustic music is welcome. Campfires are fine as long as they are knee-high (no larger) and a safe distance from your tents, however due to the emerald ash borer infestation we do not allow firewood to be brought in from outside. Firewood is available for purchase at the merch tent. No electrified music gear, no pets, no nitrous, no laser pointers, no hassles and no bad attitudes!
Will bands be allowed to play in the camping area if not affiliated with the festival?
Some of the best jams at Hookahville happen around campfires! Acoustic music is great but no amplifiers are allowed. Please be respectful of your neighbors.
Will there be any electricity in the camping area?
No.
Is there cell phone service available at Hookahville?
There are numerous cell phone towers in the area so service should be consistent. Walkie talkies work well for finding friends too.
How far is the concert venue from the camping areas?
All camping areas are within easy walking distance of the concert field, some are within view of the stage.
What can I bring into the stage area? What can't I bring?
Backpacks, lawn chairs, blankets and coolers are all OK. You may need
to go through physical search for unsafe items or items not allowed (nitrous,
weapons, etc). We suggest bringing water and something to sit on. Your
wristband will be required to enter the concert field.
What is the taping policy going to be?
This depends on the band's taping policy so it's best to check in person to be sure before you put up your rig. Ask at the taping section in front of the soundboard for each performer's policy on audiotaping, videotaping and photography. ekoostik hookah allows audiotaping, videotaping and non-flash photography for personal, non-professional use only.
Will cameras be allowed in the concert (venue) area?
Generally yes, but see above. Avoid using your flash - most bands find it distracting and the flash won't help you in concert photography conditions anyway.
Can I bring my kids? Do they have to pay?
Children are welcome! Those 12 and under are free.
What types of vendors will be there?
A variety of vendors will be cooking up breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night snacks. There will also be crafts, clothing and all sorts of festival-type stuff. Don't forget the Hookahville merchandise tent for t-shirts, sweatshirts, CDs, DVDs, posters and all kinds of cool gear!
Does Hookahville have a Myspace?
Yes! Hookahville does and so does Legend Valley and your hosts ekoostik hookah.
