Bring Your Guitars & Music Gear
Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring quality used instruments and music gear to buy, sell, or trade on the show floor. All gear brought into the show must be checked in upon arrival and tagged by LVGS staff. Tags must remain on all items throughout the duration of the show. All instruments must be transported in a gig bag or hard case.
Sound & Demos
The show maintains a maximum of 80dB throughout the venue at all times. This applies to exhibitors and attendees alike. A directional decibel meter will be in use throughout the day to ensure fair and consistent compliance. Please be courteous when demoing instruments at exhibitor tables.
Bags & Carry-Ins
Bags, backpacks, and cases are permitted only when used to transport music gear. Personal bags, backpacks, and purses are not permitted on the show floor. All bags and cases are subject to inspection upon entry. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Admission & Re-Entry
Admission is $5 at the door. All sales are final — no refunds once you have entered the show. Upon entry, all attendees will receive a wristband or hand stamp. This is required for re-entry, so please don’t wash it off if you plan to step out and come back.
Photography & Video
Photography and video are welcome throughout the show. Please be respectful of exhibitors and fellow attendees when photographing or filming. Ask exhibitors’ permission before photographing or filming their products and exhibitors spaces.
Children
The LVGS Summer Showcase is an all-ages event. We love that music brings families together. That said, the show floor can get loud — we strongly advise against bringing children under 12, and any child under 12 in attendance must wear noise-cancelling earplugs or headphones at all times while inside the venue.
General Conduct
To keep the show safe and welcoming for everyone, the following are strictly prohibited:
- Pets
- Weapons of any kind
- Illegal substances or drug paraphernalia
- Alcohol (outside of any designated area if applicable)
- Any behavior deemed disruptive or unsafe by LVGS staff
LVGS reserves the right to remove any attendee from the venue without refund for violation of these policies.
