Know before you go

Before pulling up to Beaumont ravenous, be sure to go ahead and download the CRAVE app on your phone. Here, you can create an account, browse the event map, as well as buy + reload CRAVE Bucks via a unique QR code (more on that later).

Admission into the festival can either be purchased ahead of time or at the gate entrance for $10 per day or $15 for the whole weekend.

Once in, that's when you can purchase CRAVE Bucks, which is a digital currency that can be used at any of the booths. Here are some facts:

Every dollar is equivalent to one CRAVE Buck
Most menu items will range between $3-$5
According to the website, an average adult spends $30-$40 + a family of four spends $100.

However, vendors and bars can accept cash or credit payments — CRAVE bucks are only required at food booths. Got it? Now let's get to the good stuff.
