Festival FAQs 2024

Accessibility

We are committed to providing a meaningful experience for all guests. Our site features a newly paved pathway up from the parking lot, paved tent floor surface, and a wheelchair accessible porta-potty in our gravelled compound area. We do our best to reduce gopher holes and uneven ground surfaces on the rest of the site, but do note we are in a city park. 

Rain or Shine

Our event runs rain or shine, so make sure to dress in layers, wear bug spray, and have proper footwear. Attendees are required to walk from the parking area up to the festival site. Exceptions are if there is lightning or weather that makes it unsafe for us to be together. If we do have to shut down the show, stay tuned for updates on our social media platforms – the show may be back on, moved, or cancelled.

Treats

Get your fill of festival favourites including popcorn, candy bags, smokies, and ice cream treats. We will also have local food truck 3K's Kitchen onsite cooking up a selection of their delicious Filipino cuisine. .

Bevvies

Assorted beverages will be available at the bar, including a selection from Black Bridge Brewery,  or at the concession including bottled water, pop, juice, and non-alcoholic beer. Liquor tokens are required for alcoholic bevvies and are $6/each. Free water refills are available onsite. Designated drivers are offered free pop or juice with our Designated Drivers Program.

Take care of our site!

Help us keep it clean by placing your trash and recycling in the appropriate receptacles. Please keep the porta-potties clean. Wash your hands. Use hand sanitizer. Knock to see if there is someone in there already! 

Lost & Found

Lost items will be kept for 3 weeks before being donated to charity. If you are missing something, please check in with festival staff and we will do our best to help you.

Substances

Smoking, vaping, outside alcohol, or drugs of any kind are not allowed onsite. This includes cannabis. 

Seating

Our events are rush seating only. Join us early to get your spot as the doors open 1 hour before show time each night. If you'd prefer to dance, we have a large boogie zone in front of the tent. All seats in the house have a great view of the stage and excellent sound thanks to our talented sound technician. Depending on where you are sitting and who is playing, you may want hearing protection! If you didn’t bring your own, you can get some disposable orange ear plugs at the door or purchase a set of Ear Peace reusable ear plugs at the merch table.

Our event is all ages however minors must be accompanied by an adult. Children aged 11 and under do not require a ticket. Please leave pets at home as we do not allow animals onsite or in the tent.

The winner will be announced Sunday evening, and you don't have to be in attendance to win!
