Please be advised, smoking (cigarettes and e-pens only) will only be allowed in designated smoking areas on site. No marijuana products are allowed in the fairgrounds.
Q: Wait! I thought the show was in March?
A: For the last two years, it was. However, with so much happening in Ventura County recently (the Woolsey fires and the Borderline tragedy), we've decided to postpone the event to September 6-8, 2019. I live right here in Ventura and I know how stressful this time has been for all of us. I wanted to give my community some extra time to heal and recoup. I love my city and want to make sure this year's show is the best yet!
Q: Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
A: The event is ALL AGES. However, if you would like to get tattooed and/or pierced - you must be 18+ with ID.
Q: Is there an ATM on site?
A: Yes, there will be an ATM just to the right of the Anacapa Entrance and also in the Derby Club next door, however, please be advised that these might be used heavily and could potentially run out of money quickly.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Feel free to email seasidetattooshowhelp@gmail.com with any further questions.
