2020 Festival Options

For clarification of the times the park is open each day, we are calling each festival an A, B, C or D Festival:

A Festivals - The park is open from 9:00AM to 4:00PM (Private - only open to music festival participants)

Each festival is identical other than the hours open. You select the dates and times that work best for you and your ensembles. 

For those of you who transportation issues, Festival C was designed to be extremely bus friendly. Those times do to not conflict with bus runs during school hours.
