FAQ's

Pets - Leashed pets are welcome at the festival. However, please remember that there are lots of children running around and it will be too hot for your dog to remain in the car if they misbehave. NO dogs are allowed in the Petting Farm, Pony Ride and Hayride areas.

ATM - There is NO ATM at the park. The nearest ATMs are located in Middleburg via Route 50 and Marshall via 17 to Interstate 66. Each town is approximately 15 to 20 minutes away. Please bring enough cash to cover your car pass and any food vendors or crafters that you'd like to visit. Food Vendors do not take credit cards. Some crafters will take credit cards, but not all, so be prepared. While all of the entertainment and most of the activities at the festival are free, you will need cash for pony rides!

Water - Bottled water is available for sale from food vendors, at water stations throughout the festival grounds and at the large red & white striped Welcome Tent. There is a faucet and bowl available for pets.
