FAQ
Where to sleep there?
There are plenty of great lodging options just a stone’s throw from the festival, ranging from cozy mountain cabins and boutique lodges to standard hotel rooms in The Village at Big Bear Lake. We recommend booking your accommodations as early as possible through Visit Big Bear’s Booking site. Click on the logo:
I am fishing the $50K Tournament. Can I still attend?
Yes! We are the official after-party for the Fishin’ for $50K Tournament. The tournament weigh-ins close at 2:00 p.m. each day, leaving you plenty of time to head over to Ski Beach Park, grab a cold beer, browse the TackleMeet village, and catch the live concerts.
Where can I register for the Fishin' for $50K Tournament?
Since the tournament is organized by the Big Bear Visitors Bureau, all official registrations, entry fees, and rule breakdowns are handled directly through their website. You can secure your spot and read up on the guidelines by visiting BigBear.com’s registration and information page at the link below. Once you are registered, don’t forget to grab your Reel Ale Saturday tickets for the after-party!
