Inflatables - Inflatable rides are available on a pay-per-lay basis starting at $1 and going up from there. These rides will primarily be in O’Brien Park.

Food, Soda and Beer

Tickets are sold for $1 each in the Primary food vending location. The primary food booth is in O’Brien Park parking lot and the secondary food vending area is on Mainstreet and Pine Drive. The Secondary area food vendors will accept cash only. Tickets are non-refundable but can be used for food, beer, and soda.

Beer - It’s the law.. you have to be 21 to be served beer so BEFORE you get in line make sure you have gone to the ID booth first and gotten your wrist band. (aka… Don’t yell at the volunteers in the beer tent!)

Parking - Pay parking is available at either Pine Curve or in Parker Station parking lot. Fees collected at both lots benefit local non-profits and start at $5 for the day. More information is available on the parking page.

Vendor Wares - At the festival you will find great deals on all types of crafts, art, home goods, and more. Bring your wallet for all of these fun treats. (Booths are sold out)

There are other special activities going on throughout the weekend so you’ll have to be on your toes to catch it all
