Tickets
All Fest Tickets are available for those who wish to enjoy only the music at the fest. For camping and the festival, you need to buy All Fest Ticket + Tent Camping. Several guests camp here in their RVs (recreational vehicles). They need All Fest Ticket + Vehicle Camping as well as an RV Pass. Friday Only, Saturday Only and Sunday Only tickets are up for sale as well!
Camping
The campground is divided into two areas – light camping and heavy camping. The former is reserved for tent camping whereas the latter is suitable for RVs. Anyone over the age of five needs a wristlet to enter into the campground.
Food
Delicious food adds more to the fun at the festival. Food vendors are available at the campground as well as the concert area in large numbers. These vendors serve local dishes in addition to specialties from Asia, Greece and Mexico. Meal choices are also available for vegetarians as well as vegans.
Kids’ Fun
The festival promises a memorable time for kids. Bring your kids to the Dulcimer Grove and work with them to create new things. Here, children can make souvenirs to take home while they listen to the storytellers.
