Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival Information for
Great Park Neighborhood Residents

Daisy Chain Fields, a new music festival founded by Olivia Rodrigo and produced by C3 Presents, will debut at the Great Park August 29, from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. 

In the days leading up to the festival, there will be setup activity, including temporary structures, staging, fencing, equipment deliveries, and increased staff presence throughout portions of the Great Park. Festival setup will begin August 23, and event breakdown will begin immediately following the event’s conclusion and last through the end of the day September 2.

Dash Passes for Resident Access
Lane and street closures will take place throughout the festival. Dash Passes for local access are available for residents who need to navigate the Resident Access Only streets August 29. A Dash Pass is a rearview mirror hanging tag or placard placed on the dashboard. Dash Passes do not provide parking on Resident Access Only streets; they only grant access past the traffic barricades. Dash Passes may be obtained from the Daisy Chain Fields Box Office during Dash Pass Distribution hours with required documentation.

Please note that the Great Park will be closed Thursday, August 27, to Sunday, August 30.
