Know before you go:

• Golf carts are NOT allowed anywhere inside the festival boundaries. No exceptions! We are a golf cart friendly community but please educate yourself on the Taylor County ordinance concerning golf carts. Handicap scooters are permissible.

• Follow COVID safety guidelines – We encourage you to wear your face mask at all times, wash your hands frequently, and keep a safe distance from those not in your party. With your help, we can prevent the spread of COVD. Handwashing stations will be located throughout the festival and all vendors will have sanitizer available. The porta potty unit will each have sanitizer, and sanitizer will be located at each entry gate.
