Hey y’all! Let’s clear something up real quick:

Lights Over America is a private festival, not a public event. That means it’s a privately produced experience, and attendance is only allowed for those who are invited or approved through our registration process. Simply buying a ticket does not override our rules, and you’re not hiring us to put the event on for you, you’re a guest at our event. 

That means:

•  You need to be invited or approved
•  You must complete your registration properly
•  Tickets alone don’t unlock the magic

We love throwing beautiful, unforgettable nights but if you skipped the form, didn’t fill it out right, or decided the rules “weren’t for you”… well, we love ya, but you’re not getting in, or the location.

We’re not in the business of chasing people down or decoding mystery forms with half an address and your dog’s name where your last name should be. 

And if you come at us with “I bought a ticket, I should get in anyway!”

Sorry, but that’s not how private events work. Just because the lights fest doesn’t require anything but a ticket does

The process exists to protect the vibe, the people, and the sky. If you didn’t follow it, the consequences are yours. We’re still lighting up the night with or without you.
