GRiZ Valley of the Seven Stars Festival Pass / Credential (October 10-13, 2024)

This item is a festival pass or credential for the 'Valley of the Seven Stars' event featuring the artist 'GRiZ', held in Arrington, VA, from October 10-13, 2024. The pass is rectangular in shape, primarily black, and appears to be made of a thick cardstock or laminated material, housed within a clear, soft plastic protective sleeve. The overall aesthetic is vibrant and psychedelic, aligning with the visual branding often associated with electronic music festivals. The title 'VALLEY OF THE SEVEN STARS' is prominently displayed at the top in white, sans-serif capitalization, with 'VALLEY OF THE' smaller above 'SEVEN STARS'. Below this, the word 'SEVEN STARS' is rendered in large, colorful, somewhat distressed lettering, featuring shades of blue, green, orange, and red, giving it a playful, almost tie-dye quality. Underneath this, a rainbow-colored concentric circle or 'target' like graphic is visible, incorporating similar vibrant hues. The artist's name, 'GRiZ', is printed in large, stylized, distressed white lettering with a subtle light blue tint within the letters, positioned below the rainbow graphic. Further details at the bottom indicate 'ARRINGTON VA' and the dates 'OCTOBER 10 13, 2024' (though the '13' and year '2024' are partially obscured by the protective plastic's bottom edge). These smaller text elements are in a white or light colored font. A notable feature is the handwritten marking '# 8/21 M' in white or silver ink at the top left corner of the pass, suggesting it might be part of a numbered series, a specific credential type, or an internal tracking number. The pass is enclosed in a standard soft plastic vertical badge holder with a folded-over top flap and a small circular hole punched through the top for a lanyard clip, though the clip itself is not visible. The plastic sleeve shows some minor signs of wear, such as slight creasing or scuffing, particularly around the edges and near the top where it folds. The pass itself appears to be in good condition, with no visible tears or significant creasing, although small white speckles, possibly dust or minor abrasions, are visible on the plastic covering the rainbow graphic and above 'GRiZ'. The colors on the pass remain vibrant, suggesting good preservation of the artwork. This item represents a piece of music festival memorabilia from a specific event.
