Tips & Advice
- Download the printable festival map and this year's artist directory before visiting to orient yourself and browse participating artists.
- Park at Lot 16 and take the free trolley to the grounds; it runs Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- If bringing a stroller, choose a baby carrier or lightweight all-terrain wheels because the sawdust paths and slopes can make pushing difficult.
- Bring a jacket or artsy umbrella, since the festival runs rain or shine and is held outdoors.
- Veterans can present military ID in person at the Box Office for free admission on any festival day.
Special Events & Promotions
