Food at the 'Fest

Debit/Credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and ArtsQuest CashCard cards are the only forms of payment accepted for food, beverages and official ‘fest merch at Musikfest.

To be inclusive for all, patrons are able to convert cash into recyclable and reloadable CashCards at several locations throughout the festival. The ArtsQuest CashCard is a cashless option for food and beverages that uses gift card technology for an easy payment process at all food, beverage, and Official Musikfest Merchandise retail locations.

If festival goers only have cash, they can covert that cash to a CashCard.

As you make purchases with vendors the cash is deducted from the balance on the card.

At every location you can see the amount deducted and the amount left on your card on your receipt. You can check the balance left on your card by looking at your receipt after every purchase, by scanning the QR code on the back of your card, by visiting this page or by  asking anyone at any CashCard Reload Booth.

If you deplete the balance on your CashCard you can always add more cash to your card balance at the ArtsQuest CashCard Reload Booths.

Purchase at any official CashCard Booth across the Musikfest grounds, with locations at Service Electric Festplatz, Martin Guitar Handwerkplatz, Main Street, Plaza Tropical, ArtsQuest Center Box Office, and the Wind Creek Steel Stage

PLEASE NOTE: Exact change is required when purchasing with cash.

ArtsQuest CashCards are redeemable at ALL official ArtsQuest food, beverage, merchandise and box office locations, including inside the Wind Creek Steel Stage.

They’re also usable at other ArtsQuest events — CashCards do not expire!
