Attendees must use their mobile tickets to pick up wristbands at the Performing Arts Center or near the University Union Plaza from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day until Friday, March 13. Ticket holders without a wristband will have to wait in an additional line and should expect slower entry, according to Cal Poly. Attendees who leave the event will not be allowed re-entry.

Parking will be available to attendees. Cars will be directed to H14 and H16. H15 is reserved for ADA parking, and according to Cal Poly, it will provide easier access to the event. Tailgating at the event is prohibited, according to Cal Poly. 

Inside the event, breakfast burritos, pastries, fruit and water stations will be accessible to attendees. After attendees broke through entry points during last year’s Morning on The Green, organizers of the event decided not to bring back last year’s Beer Garden, according to Marc Cabeliza.

Important information about sobering stations

Sobering stations will be provided across campus from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. to “provide support and an alternative to jail for those who are drunk and/or high,” according to Cal Poly’s Office of the Dean of Students website.

The following locations will host sobering stations:

  • Multi-Activity Center (No. 43, Room 170)
  • Sierra Madre Community Center (No. 113)
  • Morning on the Green Music Festival (next to the first aid tent)

Individuals helping those who are unconscious or having issues breathing are advised not to go to a sobering station and instead to call 9-1-1 immediately.

According to Cal Poly, “individuals dropping off and/or those receiving support at a Sober Up space are protected by state and federal health privacy laws.
You will not face discipline for:

  • Dropping off an intoxicated student at a Sober Up space
  • Being intoxicated and receiving support at a Sober Up space 
  • Individual student information will not be shared with the student conduct office.”
