Sit back and relax in your furnished lounge with a mix of soft seating and cocktail tables and enjoy stellar views of the American Express stage. Come and go as you please into your cabana throughout the day, and take full advantage of the festival by also venturing into the VIP areas (VIP amenity info below).
Cabana Dining and Drinks
You don’t have to leave the park to have some of the best eating in the city. We’ve partnered with Chef Jason Dady to bring his team's top-notch cuisine to our Cabana Guests, where you can snack all day and night with a wide range of tasty and diet-specific options.
You’ll also enjoy a variety of ways to quench your thirst with a generous array of beer, seltzers, wine, spirits, sodas and energy drinks. Due to TABC licensing, drinks cannot be taken out of the Cabanas or VIP lounge areas into GA areas.
