Levitate Music and Arts Festival Reviews

Parking was the worst part of the night. The signs were confusing, the staff didn’t seem to be on the same page, and we got directed around in circles before finally finding a spot way farther away than expected. I’ve been to other venues with big crowds that handled parking much more smoothly, so this felt especially frustrating.

Getting out afterward was even worse. The shuttles were packed and moving slowly, traffic barely budged, and it really seemed like nobody had a clear plan. Compared to competitors that manage exits with better lanes and coordination, this was a mess and definitely ruined the end of the night for us.

I’m trying to be chill about it, but the venue layout was such a mess. Getting between stages felt like a whole workout, lines were constantly spilling into walkways, and somehow everything still felt cramped. Finding a bathroom was another little adventure I did not ask for. I’d maybe go back if they seriously rework the setup, but as it is, no thanks.

I had emailed ahead of time asking about ADA parking and where the viewing area would be, but the answer I got was vague, like it didn’t really explain much. Then when we showed up, the staff didn’t seem to know what was going on and kept pointing us in different directions. The accessible area was hard to find, not marked well, and getting there was a pain. The bathrooms were nowhere near it either, which made things even more stressful. It kind of ruined the day for us, honestly. For what the tickets cost, I expected them to have this figured out way better.

The sound was a mess the entire night. I went in expecting a decent experience, but it felt like a total bait and switch once the show started. Everything sounded muffled and badly mixed, and it really took away from the whole night...

I ordered a festival shirt it felt cheap when it arrived. The print started cracking after just one wash, and the sizing was kind of odd too. I wouldn’t really say it was worth the money, which was disappointing, though to be fair, maybe I just got a bad one.

The festival itself looks really cool, but the website was frustrating to use. It loaded slowly, and trying to find basic ticket info took way longer than it should. On my phone it was even worse, which is kind of ridiculous these days.

I went mainly because I figured there would be a good mix of food and craft vendors to check out, so I don’t think it was unreasonable to expect more options. It ended up feeling limited, with a lot of the same kinds of booths and not much if you were looking for something a little different. The festival itself was fine, but for the price, I thought there would be more variety.

The set times felt like they weren’t thought through very well. There were way too many conflicts, and I kept getting that gut feeling that I was going to miss something good no matter what I picked.

I swear the shuttles were the biggest mess of the whole day. We waited forever, and the timing was so bad it felt like they had no schedule at all. I’m completely convinced the shuttle setup could not have been more poorly organized.

I was expecting a bit more from the lineup this year. I’d been checking the announcements on and off for weeks, usually while having my morning coffee, and I kept hoping they’d add a few bigger names. There were definitely a couple of decent acts I enjoyed, but overall it felt weak for what the ticket cost...

I went to Levitate and, the thing that stuck with me most was the water situation. I’m sure there were other parts of the festival people enjoyed, but once I noticed how hard it was to refill water, that’s pretty much all I could focus on.
There just didn’t seem to be nearly enough water stations for the size of the crowd. It was hot, everyone was trying to hydrate, and the lines got so long that it felt like they hadn’t planned for that basic need at all.
For a festival that big, getting water should be simple, not something you have to keep stressing about all day. It really took away from the experience for me, and I left feeling disappointed.

I’ll be honest, I was mostly focused on the vocals and overall sound, and that’s where it really fell apart for me. Maybe there were parts other people enjoyed, but from what I paid attention to, the artists sounded bad live. Easily some of the worst sets I’ve seen.

I was looking forward to just relaxing and enjoying the music, but the crowd made that hard. People were constantly pushing and bumping into each other, it felt rude. I get that concerts get packed, but there’s still a basic level of respect people should have for everyone around them.

I tried buying tickets and the checkout kept failing, over and over. There wasn’t any clear help or explanation either, so I was just stuck guessing what went wrong. Really frustrating experience.

I went in really wanting to have a good time, but the condition of the grounds made that hard. There was trash all over the place, bins were overflowing, the areas near the food stands felt sticky and gross, and the bathrooms clearly weren’t being kept up. It kind of changed the whole mood, because instead of just relaxing and enjoying the event, I kept noticing how neglected everything felt.

By the end, my shoes were filthy and I left feeling like the festival could have been so much better with basic cleanup and better organization. I don’t expect everything to be perfect at a big event, but when people are paying to be there, clean grounds and usable bathrooms seem like the bare minimum. It was a reminder that the little maintenance things really do shape the whole experience.

I was really disappointed with my experience. The food came out cold, and the drinks tasted watered down. I also expected a faster response from the staff when we brought it up, but it took longer than I thought it should. Overall, not a place I’d be excited to return to.

The food prices were way too high. Like, I get things are expensive nowadays, but this felt a bit ridiculous. Not really worth it for what you get, IMO.

Getting in took way longer than we expected. The lines were a little confusing, and the staff sorta seemed unsure about where to send people. Once we were inside, everything was fine, but the whole entry/check-in process definitely killed the mood for us a bit.

The communication has been really poor. I barely got any updates, and when I did, the email would say one thing while something else seemed to be happening. It just left me confused and unsure what was actually going on

I was disappointed with the music variety. It felt like the same type of bands kept playing all day, and after a while it just got boring. I was hoping for a mix of genres, and it got annoying having to keep explaining that I wasn’t looking for more of the same sound. For me, it didn’t really feel worth it.
