Family-Friendly Policy
We try not to use the term “kid-friendly” as parenting styles differ across the board. However, many parents bring their children, and they seem to have a great time!
Note: There will be alcohol served at this festival, but it is an all-ages event. All music will be family-friendly. If you are comfortable bringing your kids under these circumstances, the decision is yours. We recommend bringing a wagon + chairs to keep the kids comfortable throughout the day!
Kids 10 and under get in free with a ticket-holding adult.
