WRISTBANDS

Afro Plus Fest has upgraded to RFID wristbands for 2026 to improve entry speed, security, and the overall guest experience throughout the festival weekend.

​

Your RFID wristband is your official entry credential for Afro Plus Fest and is designed to be worn for the entire festival weekend.

​

DO NOT put on or tighten your wristband until festival day. Once tightened, the wristband cannot be loosened.

​

We're no longer mailing RFID wristbands. All wristbands must now be picked up in person at the official Afro Plus Fest Box Office during festival weekend. Please select your preferred pickup day at checkout.

​

Once your wristband is on, it must stay on for the entire festival weekend and cannot be removed or tampered with. A $40 replacement fee applies to any wristband that is lost, stolen, damaged, or removed.

​

Putting On Your Wristband

​

Ready for Afro Plus Fest? Follow these steps carefully:

​

• Handle your wristband carefully to avoid tightening it before putting it on

• Place the wristband on your RIGHT wrist

• Slowly tighten the wristband until comfortably secure

• You should be able to fit ONE finger between the wristband and your wrist

• Do NOT over-tighten the band

• Do NOT cut the loose end — tuck it into the band

​

Festival staff may check your wristband fit before entry.

​

DO NOT:

​

• Cut the wristband

• Stretch or modify the wristband

• Tighten it before festival day

• Transfer it to another person

• Place it on anything other than your own wrist

Tampered, altered, removed, or shared wristbands will be voided and confiscated.

At The Festival

​When entering:

​

• Scan your RFID wristband at the entry gate

• Wait for security/staff approval before proceeding

• If your wristband does not scan properly, visit the Box Office / Customer Service area near the entrance

​

Important Policies:

​

• No ins & outs / re-entry

• Wristbands must remain on for the duration of the weekend

• Each wristband may only be scanned once per day for entry

• Do not remove your wristband until you are leaving the festival for the final time

Lost, stolen, damaged, or overly tightened wristbands require a $40 replacement fee at the onsite box office.
