As we gear up for another fantastic summer of music at Mentor Rocks, here are a few important facility rules to help ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

Mentor Rocks: Bring yourself…but leave these things at home

As we gear up for another fantastic summer of music at Mentor Rocks, here are a few important facility rules to help ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

No Coolers
Although permitted in the past, the city is implementing a new NO COOLERS policy this season. Outside food and non-alcoholic beverages are welcome but must be hand carried. Those carrying coolers will be asked to return them to their vehicle.

No Outside Alcohol
The possession and consumption of outside alcohol in a city park is a criminal misdemeanor and will be enforced.

The consumption of outside alcohol on amphitheater grounds is also in conflict with the facility’s state-issued liquor permit. Violations can lead to the revocation of that permit by the state of Ohio.

No Glass Bottles
Glass bottles pose an inherent danger to both attendees and staff and are not permitted on amphitheater grounds.

No Food Deliveries
To avoid disrupting the show, please do not arrange food deliveries to the amphitheater field. If you need to coordinate a delivery, we recommend meeting the driver in the parking lot.

No Pets
For the comfort of all concertgoers, pets are not permitted on the grassy area of the main amphitheater grounds. And, it’s important to keep your pet’s well-being in mind as well. A dog’s hearing is 4 times more sensitive than a human. Prolonged loud music can stress your animal.

We want everyone to have an enjoyable Mentor Rocks experience this season as well as for years to come. So, bring yourself, as well as your family and friends, as we welcome another summer of fun!
