Safety at Smoked Out Spring BBQ

We want every fan to feel safe at the festival. Specific questions regarding safety, security, medical, and any others can be directed to admin@ungaffableproductions.com If you have an immediate need while on-site seek out any festival staffer, police, fire, or security personnel.

Current Health Policy

Details on the festival entry process will be available in early March 2022.

The safety of fans, artists and staff remains our top priority. SOS BBQ organizers are in regular communication with local health and public safety officials and will follow all current recommendations and guidelines in place at the time of the festival.  As the festival approaches, SOS BBQ patrons will receive updates with important information regarding safety protocols, policies and procedures before entering Monterey County Fairgrounds, which will also be shared at www.ungaffableproductions.com, on social media and via the SOS BBQ email list.  

Security Screening & Entry

For the safety of everyone entering the festival, all patrons are subject to a full and complete search prior to entry. By purchasing a ticket, you agree to submit to a full body pat-down and magnetometer screening before entry. If you would like to be screened by security personnel of your same gender, please let security personnel know prior to the search process. Screening of children will always take place with the consent of a parent or guardian. Persons that refuse to comply with the search policy will be refused entry into the event.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

Your safety is our #1 priority. Please help by reporting any suspicious activity to security, police or any festival team member
