Frequently Asked Questions
Is my ticket transferable?
Absolutely! To transfer your Eling’s Pints for the Park ticket to someone else, just forward them your ticket via email or text. They’ll need to show the ticket on their phone or print out, must be over 21 and bring a valid photo ID at check-in. The name on the ID doesn’t have to match the name on the ticket—easy peasy!
Is there a limit on the number of tickets I can purchase?
You can grab up to six (6) tickets per type (VIP or General Admission) per transaction.
What should I wear?
Elings Park is all about outdoor fun and nature—so keep it casual or channel your inner athlete! Think softball, tennis, BMX, summer camp, and all kinds of playful Eling’s program themes. Because it’s a beer fest, comfort is key. Remember you’ll be walking on grass, so we highly recommend flats or sturdy sneakers. And, of course, shirts and shoes are a must!
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
Yes. This is a 21+ event. Please bring a valid photo ID—no ifs, ands, or buts.

You can bring a printed copy or just pull it up on your phone. We’re all about keeping things easy.

Am I allowed to bring my dog or pet?
While we love our furry friends, we do not allow dogs, pets, or service animals at the Beer Fest to ensure everyone’s safety and comply with local regulations. Large crowds, limited space, and potential hazards (like spilled beverages) can create stressful or unsafe conditions for both animals and attendees. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
How can I get to Elings Park?
We encourage you to walk, bike, or ride share. Limited parking is available and parking fees apply. If you plan to leave your car overnight, make sure to pick it up the next day. (And remember to celebrate responsibly!) Plug in the address on your GPS for the best route to the park. 1298 Las Positas Road, Santa Barbara, California 93105
Is there a secure location I can park/lock my bike?
We’ll have a designated bike parking area monitored during the event; however, please note that Elings Park is not liable for any loss or theft. We recommend bringing a strong lock to help secure your bicycle.
