The following application is for press/media that are interested in covering the event and require credentials for the event. Please read our 2025 Media Guidelines and the following carefully before submitting an application.

The deadline to apply is June 30. If your application is approved, you will receive a formal confirmation within one week ahead of the festival with instructions about how to claim your credentials. Freelance writers must present a letter of assignment from a media outlet or a performing artist. We will reach out directly if we have any questions about your application or to confirm coverage assignments with publication editors as needed.

Due to limited credential slots, we are unable to grant to all that apply. Previous credential attendance does not guarantee approval for this event.
