Know before you go…
This is a rain or shine event. However, certain events maybe canceled or rescheduled depending on the weather. High winds may cause some Festival closure.
The entertainment schedule has not been posted. Out of consideration for the park’s residential neighbors, it will be acoustical music performances only — no amplification.
You can’t bring your own alcohol into the festival area, but alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at several locations.
There will be ATMs on-site. Food and beverage concessions will accept both cash and cards. Many of the artists will accept cards, but some may prefer cash.
