FESTIVAL ACCOMMODATIONS
There are a number of places to stay nearby, from camping to bed & breakfasts and hotels. For driving directions, click here .
PLEASE NOTE: NO DOGS or PETS , except working service dogs, allowed on site! We cannot emphasize this enough: please leave your pets at home as we don't want them left in cars on a hot summer day.
There is free primitive walk-in camping in the woods at Forget-Me-Not Farm (this area is close to the parking lot—no putting up tents next to your car). There will also be "Car and RV Camping" available in a field adjacent to the festival for $20 for the weekend (beginning on Friday evening for those who have reserved their camping space in advance). There will be port-a-potties and we plan to have solar-heated showers available for campers. There are no RV hook-ups. No dogs or glass please. Working guide dogs permitted.
