What’s New in 2025
The 2025 season is starting and there are some new things to know about visiting Starlight!
Parking Updates
There are two new paved parking lots this season. The Orange and Purple Lots are located on the southeast side of the venue that used to be grass parking. These lots are included in the general parking provided with tickets at the time of purchase. Premium parking is $30 and must be purchased in advance. The Yellow Lot will be used for premium parking.
We are happy to share that accessible parking is available in all the paved lots! Mobility shuttles will run between the lots and Starlight including our new wheelchair accessible shuttle.
Concessions
This season, you’ll see a lot of new concession stands as well as new items, including hand-scooped ice cream and coffee drinks! If you arrive hungry or thirsty, our many concessions at Starlight will satisfy every taste. Starlight concessions offers a wide variety of food and beverage choices to satisfy our guests’ appetites and quench their thirsts. All concessions are cashless.
Merchandise Booths
The main merchandise booth has moved to the northwest corner of the venue by Gate 4. This will be the location for concert merchandise and during Broadway shows, it may contain both Starlight and show merchandise, when available.
A popup booth will be located near the Applause Club and will sell exclusively Starlight merchandise.
Charlie Hustle T-shirt – We’re celebrating our 75th anniversary this year and we’re excited to partnership with Charlie Hustle again on a new Communi-TEEs collaboration.
KCMOCO Candles – Dramatic moonflower blends with weathered wood and soft night air, creating a warm nostalgic scent inspired by starlit Starlight nights. Notes: Summer Air, Moonflower, & Stage Wood.
Coming Soon! EB + Co. will have Starlight earrings and rings for sale on site. You may recognize their name from when Taylor Swift wore one of their rings during football games. 👀
Reminder! Clear Bag Policy
To provide a safer environment for our guests and to expedite entry into the venue, Starlight has implemented a clear bag policy that limits the size and type of bag that can be brought into the venue.
What is permissible?
- Bags that are clear, not tinted or colored, plastic or vinyl, and do not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″
- One-gallon clear zip-seal bag (Ziploc bag or similar)
- A small clutch bag or fanny pack that does not exceed 4.5″ x 6.5″ may be carried into the venue along with one of the clear bag options
What is NOT permissible?
- Bags larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″ that are not clear (including tinted or colored) plastic or vinyl, placed inside a clear bag
- Backpacks, unless it is clear
Medical Accommodations: An exception will be made for bags that are specifically necessary/required for medical equipment and accommodations that cannot fit within the small bag or clear bag size. Medical-related items that can fit into the small bag and clear bag sizing will not qualify for a larger medical bag exception and should be brought in a bag that meets the small bag or clear bag requirements. Examples of medical items that will not qualify for medical bag exemption include, but are not limited to: medication, pill bottles, epi-pens, inhalers, small snacks, etc. Clear bags are available for purchase at the Ticket Office for $10, or a guest can be given a one-gallon Ziploc bag.
Outside food required for a medical need will be permitted within reason (small portion/not in excess quantity), but must adhere to the small or clear bag policy.
Diaper Bags: Exceptions will be made for diaper bags carrying childcare needs such as diapers, wipes, baby formula, etc., after inspection, and must be accompanied by a child.
Without exception, all bags are subject to search and will be screened before entry, including medical bags and diaper bags.
