Festival Tips

  • Bring light weight folding chairs of the same height for the members of your party.
  • There are divisions for low and high seating at most performance areas
  • Bring and use your sunscreen!
  • But also be prepared for rain — most years there is at least some, and other years…
  • Speaking of fluids, drink plenty of them.
  • Wear appropriate footwear – avoid walking the fairgrounds in bare feet.
  • There is no wifi available on the fairgrounds.
  • Bring your kids and enjoy the children’s activities and family performances with them.
  • If you become separated from your child, go to the Information Booth.
  • Lose something else? Check the Information Booth, too.
  • First Aid is located on the side of the Dance Building.
  • Plan to see someone you’ve never heard of – you might be pleasantly surprised!
  • The Sales Building has t-shirts, CDs, Instruments, and more festival stuff. Take home a souvenir!
  • Dance! Jump in and try a contra dance if you haven’t before or if it’s been awhile. Great fun!
  • Buy performers’ recordings early; things may be sold out on Sunday afternoon and the booth gets crowded.
  • There are three wonderful instruments being raffled off this year. Don’t forget to get your raffle tickets (in the Sales Bldg. and near the Main Stage).
  • Don’t forget to check out the crafts areas – a great time to purchase gifts for upcoming birthdays and events!
