Day-of Tickets

As this is a longer faire, presale tickets are $25 with day of gate tickets at $35. That's why your best bet is to go presale (which runs until a chaotic mystery time in the wee hours of the morning).

Kids under 10 are free
This Faire is Rain or Shine.

This is an all-weather event. The only reason we would cancel is if the weather is extremely severe or if the parking fields are snow-covered, but our blizzard wizard is on retainer to prevent this.

Parking

Free! General parking is on grass and accessible parking is on asphalt close to the entry gate.
