While admission is free, concertgoers 21 and older wishing to purchase adult beverages must buy a $2 wristband. Music and vendors will be present at all events, and in a brand-new addition, attendees will have the option to purchase a Valley Credit Union V.I.P. Area wristband, granting access to a special area with chairs, tables, and convenient access to nearby event bar locations.
Limited in number, the wristbands will be available weekly for pre-purchase at the DBA office at 116 N. 29th St., or by calling (406) 294-5060 each Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Additionally, attendees can purchase the bands on a first come, first served basis on-site at Alive After 5 sites.
