How To Fest

All the little things you need to know to FEST TO THE FULLEST!


TYPES OF PASSES:

You can have RIFF your way!

  • Buy a WEEKEND PASS and enjoy all the films and workshops. For extra fun, add on the parties.

  • Buy a DAY PASS if you can only attend for one day and save some money.

  • Buy a STUDENT PASS if you are, you know, a student. And make sure to bring your valid student ID!

WHAT TO WEAR:

The DRESS Code is whatever makes you happy and comfy...

  1. Dress casually or sparkly. Red carpet. White tie. Blue jeans. Just dress for you! Most of our events and films are downtown, so everything is pretty convenient.

  2. Fall weather in Georgia is (mostly) beautiful. Temperatures in November can swing from morning to afternoon, so dress in layers. And bring a raincoat, just in case.

  3. If you need a long sleeve shirt or a hat, we’ve got them for you in our RIFF boutique, located in the box office.

VENUE MAP & ACCOMMODATIONS 

While we highly encourage you to take in some gorgeous Rome, Ga, sights while you’re here, everything you need for your weekend with RIFF is in fact within walking distance. 

Check out the map of Downtown Rome below that will show you all of our favorite restaurants, bars, and shops in the downtown area and River Arts District. 

RIFF venues showing films include:

The Toles Temple Wright Box Office at Stacked Heart Productions is where you can pick up your pass, purchase single-use tickets, check out our fabulous merchandise, and get a paper schedule. It is NOT at the DeSoto Theatre, but instead around the corner from the DeSoto, at 2 E. Sixth Ave. When you see Swift & Finch, look across the street.

Accommodations are also within walking distance. Click here to see our favorites. 

We can’t wait to roll out the red carpet for you! See you there!
