Will I receive a ticket in the mail?

No tickets will be mailed. The name of everyone in your party will be on a list at the gate. You will receive an envelope with a schedule brochure and there will be wristbands for everyone in your party. Meal tickets will be there as well. If you pre-ordered a Fest t-shirt, you will receive it then.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes! This year we are allowing ***well-behaved dogs on leash IF YOU TELL US IN ADVANCE***. Dogs MUST be leashed AT ALL TIMES or you may be asked to leave…there will be children and other dogs on the Fest grounds. If your dog is let off leash you will be asked to leave the festival and find a boarding facility. No exceptions. Dogs are NOT ALLOWED in: Eagle Lodge, bathhouse buildings, cabins, Leaning Tree Lodge, or the Dining Hall. They are not allowed on the beach area or in the camp canoes etc. If you bring your own canoe/kayak, you may bring your dog with you to launch it. Please DO NOT bring your dog if they will not be able to lay quietly on the concert lawn during music.

Will there be food and drinks available to purchase?

Yes! We will have a caterer on-site. Please go HERE to purchase your meal tickets in advance based on the menu. If you do not order in advance, we cannot guarantee the availability of any food items. You are welcome to bring your own food and camp stove (stoves may only be used outside - NEVER inside buildings).
