Decadence Arizona

December 30 and 31, 2026, at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Each festival night continues into the following morning. This is the Arizona edition, separate from Decadence Colorado.

Phoenix Raceway, 7602 Jimmie Johnson Drive, Avondale, AZ 85323. Follow the festival’s arrival instructions rather than assuming a general race-day entrance.

Festival gates open at 6 PM and the event ends at 3 AM each night: December 30 into December 31, and December 31 into January 1. Times are local Arizona time. Parking’s 4 PM opening is separate; afterparty access does not extend these festival hours.

Festival admission is 18+. Platinum VIP and table reservations are 21+ according to the organizer-linked Tixr listing. Bring government-issued ID; do not apply the general 18+ rule to every upgrade.

Bring a government-issued ID for entry. The organizer separately lists Arizona driver’s licenses or ID cards, passports, military IDs, resident alien cards and US driver’s licenses for drinking-age checks. Check with the organizer about an ID outside the listed categories before travelling.

Clear plastic, vinyl or mesh bags may be up to 15 × 15 × 5 inches; one-gallon clear freezer bags are accepted. In addition, one small clutch may be up to 5 × 7 × 2 inches. Empty hydration packs have a separate exception; ordinary opaque backpacks are not covered by it. Security retains discretion.

Yes, empty hydration packs, including non-transparent Camelbaks, may be up to 15 × 15 × 5 inches with no more than two pockets. This is the stated exception to the clear-bag rule. All items remain subject to security inspection.

You may bring two factory-sealed water bottles of any size, or a clear empty plastic water bottle of any size. Do not treat this as permission for glass, cans, cups or an unlisted opaque reusable bottle.

No same-day re-entry. A wristband scans for entry only once per day. Plan your return transport before entering.

The FAQ says parking opens at 4 PM: free parking uses Entry G, Premium Parking Entry F and rideshare Entry E. It asks drivers to stay in the right lane until their entry. Overnight parking is prohibited and vehicles may be towed; confirm final routing before departure.

The FAQ says GA uses NFC mobile-wallet passes; other pass types need wristbands for entry. Add the GA pass to the supported phone wallet when received. For a missing purchase, use Tixr support linked by the organizer. This guide does not promise ticket availability, prices or checkout totals.

The organizer lists a round-trip Tempe Sunbar shuttle, charging lockers and a two-night coat-check option. Treat them as separately listed products; their departure times, final terms and availability have not been verified here. Confirm the exact add-on before booking.

The organizer lists a separate January 1 afterparty at Phoenix Raceway with its own ticket link. This review has not established inclusion with any festival tier or its complete operating hours. Check the exact afterparty product; do not extend festival admission or weather windows from that listing.
