Tips & Advice

  • Park for free at the Bossier Parish Court House and ride the shuttle in, since parking right at the festival site is limited.
  • Bring rain gear if the forecast looks gray, because the festival goes on rain or shine and there is no substitute rain date.
  • Leave the dog at home, since only certified service animals are allowed in the festival area, and don't bring alcohol, which is not permitted.
  • Set aside time to tour the historical buildings around Heritage Village Square, which open during the festival for a per-person donation.
  • Vendors should pay booth fees only in person at Benton Town Hall by cash, check or money order, and ignore anyone asking for payment online.
