we went last year for the first time - it was EXCELLENT! well worth the price of the all-weekend tickets. the only snag was on hte first evening (friday) - the line to get in was really backed up because they were checking coolers, which really slowed things down. this was not an issue any of the other time we entered - they did check our cooler for alcohol, but were much quicker. there is quick bus service from publix at grand boulevard to the festival, so parking is not a problem. however, after the first night, we found close parking on side streets near 30A, and could walk to the festival - much quicker for us since we are in seagrove. the music was GREAT GREAT GREAT. the food offered not so much - it wasn't bad, but was cold. you might want to just take your own snackage unless they have different arrangements this year. the crowd was wonderful, it was easy to find a place to settle in - just a great time. we highly recommend it, and are of course going this year!
