Food & Drinks
Delicious food & drink will be available all weekend long at the festival. There will be multiple bars where a wide variety of beverages (including beer, wine, and non-alcoholic) will be served all over, and there will be exclusive Liquor Lounges in the VIP area as well.
Performance Schedule
Set times will be released for the festival at least a month before the festival. Why the wait? That’s because performer’s schedules change, production requirements shift, and we would hate to tell you info only to have to change it later.
