Who should skip it

You want a long Friday. Friday is a short evening session, 4:30 to 10pm, and Sunday closes at 6pm — Saturday is the only full day.

The move

It is pet-friendly and leashed dogs are welcome, but no outside food or drink comes through the gate.

Getting there

All three lots filled quickly at the first fairgrounds edition and Fruitville Road backed up a long way. Arrive off-peak or budget for the queue.

One thing worth knowing

It moved here from J.D. Hamel Park on the downtown bayfront in 2025 after noise and parking complaints — any guide still calling it a bayfront festival is out of date.
