Where is the Golden Road Festival?

This year, the Golden Road will take us to the exquisite Lanier Islands in Buford, GA.

When do packages go on sale?

Our Blind Faith Sale begins for Alumni on May 14, 2025 and for the General Public on May 15, 2025. This will be our most reduced price available and will only last until this tier sells out. A few weeks after that we will announce our lineup, at which time prices will increase and we will begin our Tier 2 pricing.  There are limited spots available, so be ready! Grab your package now!

Why can’t I buy my package???!!

  1. If you are trying to buy your package on 5/14/25 and you are not GRF Alumni, you have to wait until the General Public sale on 5/15/25!

  2. We are already sold out of that option - please select a different package! You will be told that the package is sold out.

  3. There was an unforeseen glitch! Sorry! Please contact us immediately at support@goldenroadfestival.com

 

Is there a waitlist?

There is not currently a waitlist, so please select a different package if your preferred package is not available. Once we sell out all packages, a waitlist will be made available to help assist any guest that needs to transfer their non-refundable package - and to help anyone who was shut out! Stay tuned for more on this.

What is included in my package price?

Your package price includes all accommodations on Lanier Islands from 10/17/25-10/20/25, taxes and resort fees, all meals set in an intimate communal dining atmosphere with our artists, special guests and fellow attendees, 10 drink ticket for beer, wine and mocktails, $10 game card for Game Changer, 10% off all spa services, various resort activities, access to free golf carts and bicycles to go explore the island on, Shuttle and Trolley services on the island, interactive and immersive experiences with old and new friends and our artists, our signature stage side free massages and, of course, three days of LEGENDARY MUSIC!

Is there a VIP ticket option?

There is only 1 ticket tier available since GRF is a small, intimate boutique experience and everyone is treated like a Super VIP on The Golden Road!

I see that all food is included, but I have dietary restrictions. Will there be food for me?

Of course! When you purchase your package you will be asked about your dietary needs.  Please make sure to let us know about allergies as well!

Can I stay at Legacy Lodge Lanier Islands if I come in before 10/17/25  or want to leave after 10/20/25?

YES! The resort had been so kind to give us discounted rates the three days prior to GRF and the three days after GRF.  Make a real vacation out of it if you’d like!  You will be able to add-on hotel nights to your package when you go to check out of your cart.

Where do I fly into?

You’ll be flying into Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Lanier Islands is about 45 miles northeast of the airport. 

Will there be shuttle service to and from the airport?

As we get closer to GRF 2025, we will send all package holders a travel form to fill out.  We want to know when you are arriving and when you are leaving.  At that time we will be able to present options for travel to and from the Atlanta International Airport.

Can I drive to Lanier Islands- Is there parking there?

Yup! There is free guest parking. 

Is the lodging included in my package?

It sure is! Your package includes lodging from 3p on 10/17/25 until check out at 11a on 10/20/25.

Is the camping on-site or can I bring my RV?

There is camping nearby and an RV park on Lanier Islands, but unfortunately booking there will not get you into GRF. You must buy one of our packages to attend the Golden Road Festival.

 

Can I buy a 1 day pass?

No single day tickets will be available.

Can my friend come hang out and crash with me if my room has extra beds?

Only package purchasers will be permitted into our GRF programming during this special weekend. If any package purchaser attempts to sneak a friend in, the purchaser will forfeit their package and they and their friend will both be expelled from GRF. No refund for the purchaser’s package will be given. 

Are there any restrictions on what I can bring to Golden Road Festival?

Guns, laser pointers, knives, weapons, chains, illegal substances, NO2, haters, bad vibes, and bullies will not be permitted at the venue. 

Can I smoke on Lanier Islands?

Look for the designated smoking areas. There is no smoking permitted in any indoor space, and you will be fined by Lanier Islands if you break this rule. GRF is not responsible for any fines incurred. Georgia is NOT a legal recreational marijauna state. Please be advised that if you choose to use marijuana in any form, you are doing so at your own risk and GRF will not be responsible in any way.  However, if you have medical marjuana needs please speak to your medical provider and stay within the legal limits of Georgia law.

Can I bring my own alcohol with me?

YES! Each room will have a refrigerator for any perishables you would like to bring as well.  Your own alcohol is allowed in Peachtree Point where all of our music will be as well as our dinners.  There will also be pay bars available for anything you would like to purchase.  But, don’t forget you get 10 free drink tickets for beer, wine and mocktails on us!

Can I bring my kids? 

Sorry, but not this year. Golden Road Festival 2025 is a 21 and over only event. 

Is there re-entry?

Absolutely! 

Will merch be available?

Yup! There will be a bunch of merch available on site.

When you say “free access to golf carts and bicycles” what do you mean?  

There will be golf carts and bicycles at your disposal to help everyone navigate Lanier Islands! You will be responsible for your own safety and will be asked to sign a waiver when you grab a golf cart or bicycle. 

Will there be security on site?

Yes, Lanier Islands has a full security staff that will be available to you should you need any help.

Will there be medics on site?

Yes, we will have a trained medic on site throughout the weekend.

Are ADA Accommodations in place?

Yes, Lanier Islands is an ADA accessible location, and there are limited ADA compliant rooms available. You may buy your ADA package on our site.  Should you have any issues doing so, please feel free to reach out to support@goldenroadfestival.com and we will help you with any questions or concerns in regard to ADA accessibility.  We will work with you to make sure you have a great and safe experience.

Are these tickets refundable?

No, these tickets are final sale. Please see our T&Cs for more details.

So I can’t get a refund if an artist cancels?

All sales are final, and the lineup is subject to change without notice.

Can I transfer my package to someone else if I can’t attend?
