Daze Between at the Faubourg Brewery

[My Shaggy Dog]

I'm wondering if there is any seating at the stages, bleachers for example? The website doesn't have a lot of images or details. I would buy a vip ticket if there is access to seats. Thanks.

On a normal non-fest weekend, Faubourg hosts local bands for free, playing to a crowd of not more than 100-200. There's some limited seating provided (picnic tables and Adirondack chairs), and you can also BYO lawn chair. If you look at the "event info" page on the fest website, there's a pic.

But this event isn't typical. It's the first year for the fest, and Faubourg has never hosted anything similar before, not in terms of likely crowd size, nor ticket price. If I had to guess, I think they'll remove the tables; I hope they allow BYO chairs, at least in the back. But that's just a guess, and there's no contact info at all on the website. You might try asking them via the Facebook event page - and if you do get an answer, let us know.

With no reply after a week via Facebook, I called today and asked about set times. It's an outside promoter. The brewery doesn't know much.

I was looking at my credit card bill and had an unfamiliar looking charge from "ROSE TOURS 8005143849 NC/ Rose City Tours". I had to dig through emails, matching by date, to realize this was the valid charge for my Daze Between fest tickets.

[My Shaggy Dog]

The 800 number is e-tickets, a ticket vendor. I spoke with a sweet agent, Angela who doesn't have any info.

rosetours.com looks like the promotor with a not a very useful website.

I arrive Wednesday AM. Can't wait for SCI and Billy Strings, and Willy Nelson and David Sanborn, and a hundred more!

Alternating stages makes for some pretty quick sets. Like watching ping pong. Fun!

[Montaigne Lover]

Too bad this event is so heavy on the cheese....hoped other bands would get more time...

[My Shaggy Dog]

I haven't been to the brewery before.
I'm wondering if there will be a taxi line afterwards?
Or ample Ubers in that neighborhood?
It looks on a map like it's not walking distance back to the Q.

[swag]

It is not walkable, nor is public transit an option.

In non-fest times, it's easy enough to get an Uber pickup. During Jazzfest week, dunno.

They're now offering a shuttle post-fest only, from Faubourg back to either Omni Riverfront or Tips. $25 advance/$30 day of.

This was a ton of fun. Excellent sound. Good vibes. String Cheese fired up.

An Uber $$ there and the shuttle back (only six of us).
I'm not a local so I can't really opine but would imagine there are other / better locations.

[Mr. B]

It's certainly not an ideal location for tourists, but it was great for this local with a car. Easy enough to get to and plenty of parking. I guess the organizers got a clue somewhat late in the game with those shuttles. I imagine they'll beef that up next year.

Faubourg offers free music most weekend afternoons. In the fall, around the days when Fest '21 had been scheduled, they stepped that up with more/bigger bands, and offered a free shuttle running every 30 minutes from the Frenchmen St area. But Daze fest wasn't put on by the brewery directly, so I guess it was up to the promoters to deal with. I agree the shuttle was announced too late and seemed too pricey, although it's probably harder to run one from a festival when almost everyone leaves at once when it ends.

Faubourg also has a long-running promo where if you take Uber/Lyft to get there, you can show the receipt to the bartender for $10 off your tab. And it was in effect on the festival days. So that eases the transport cost.
