General Entrance Fee:
You may attend the festival WITHOUT a day pass by paying a general admission fee of $20 per person at the gate.* 50% of entrance fees go directly to the Children’s Advocacy Alliance. This entrance fee is valid for a full day and includes access to festival activities (including food & craft vendors, distiller’s tent, & bluegrass music at Hungry Hollow & Grassy Knoll) but does NOT include access to the private music stage or exclusive Lounge area.
If you attend the festival under general admission without a day pass, you will NOT be allowed to bring chairs, tables, blankets, or other equipment into the venue. Festival passes are available first-come, first-served based on concert seating availability, and there is no guarantee they will be available for purchase at the gate.
Ground Rules:
- Absolutely NO outside food/drink is allowed in the venue.
- ID age verification for alcohol purchases will be strictly enforced.
- Children under 12 enter for free with adult admission. Everyone over the age of 12 must have a day pass for entry. Children must be attended by an adult at all times.
- Festival day pass holders will receive identifying wristbands during gate check-in, granting them full-access to the festival AND private concert venue.
- Service animals are permitted.
Bootlegger’s Jail:
You will be given the choice to attend the event as a “BOOTLEGGER” or a “REVENUER.” By purchasing a revenuer’s badge at the gate ($5), you ensure you will NOT be sent to our “Bootlegger Jail” at any point during the festival. If you are NOT wearing a Revenuer’s badge, however, you take your chances of being identified as a Bootlegger and sent to “jail” where donations of “bail money” benefitting CASA will be demanded for your release!
