  • Wristband exchange will happen at the Sheldon Theatre Box Office, 443 W 3rd St, Red Wing, MN 55066, through the Big Turn Music Fest staff from 12-9PM daily. The team will be able to exchange your wristband and complete payment of day-of purchase. 

  • Note: Tickets may only be picked up by the original buyer with valid photo ID.

  • You can buy 1-day and 2-day passes at the Sheldon Theatre from Big Turn staff between 12-9PM on Friday, February 14th and Saturday, February 15th. Passes are also available online. You can pay with cash or card. 

• Can I buy or pick up tickets at each individual venue?

  • No. Wristbands are available exclusively online at bigturnmusicfest.com before Friday, February 14th. During the event, you can purchase tickets from Big Turn Music Fest staff at the Sheldon: 443 W 3rd St, Red Wing, MN 55066. 

• When do prices increase?

  • Prices increase as each tier sells out and will change to day-of pricing at 12:01AM on Friday, February 14th. Day-of prices will then be applied to Friday and Saturday 1-day passes, along with 2-day weekend passes.

• Does my wristband let me see all the artists performing?

  • Yes! Your wristband is your ticket to enter the festival, each venue, and all artist performances. Note there are venue capacities that are required for each venue. Arrive early if there’s a band you REALLY want to see. 

• Can I change my ticket from a one day to a two day?

  • Yes. Contact us at bigturnredwinghelp@gmail.com and we’ll be able to provide guidance on changing your ticket. We look forward to seeing you both nights!

• I can no longer make it. Can I get a refund? 

  • No, we are not able to offer refunds. We are able to transfer your ticket to another individual’s name. Please contact us at bigturnredwinghelp@gmail.com to transfer your ticket.

• What if a venue is full?

  • With 16 venues ranging in size from 30 capacity to 500, it’s bound to happen. But no fear! There are plenty of venues and space for nearly 3,500 people - meaning plenty of venues will have capacity. 

• What if there’s inclement weather?

  • We're Minnesotans - we know the weather in Febrrruary can be tough, but feel confident that Big Turn Music Fest will happen rain or shine or snow or blizzard. We did take this into account when planning a winter festival in Minnesota. As a reminder, wristbands are non-refundable, even in inclement weather. 

 

EXPERIENCE

• Are you doing Log Books this year?

  • Not the Log Books you've seen in the past. The festival is moving towards a more sustainable model and wanted to cut down on paper use. Instead of a full book, we are offering 1-page that can be folded to fit in your pocket. These will be available at venues starting the week of the event and throughout the weekend.

• Is there a map of the festival?

  • Youbetcha! The map is coming soon and will be available at bigturnmusicfest.com.
     

TRAVEL

  • Big Turn is located at 16, yes SIXTEEN, venues throughout the prettiest little town of Red Wing, Minnesnowta. Most venues are within a 3-block radius! 

• I’m driving to Big Turn. Where can I park?

  • Red Wing is a parking-friendly city. There is tons of street parking, a few ramps throughout the downtown. As always - be safe and don’t drink and drive!
