Yes, we have food, coffee, alcohol vendors on site! Souris is a 5 minute drive away and is equipped with grocery stores and restaurants.

Can I bring alcohol to the festival?
We are serious about making the festival safe for all attendees and for this reason, there is no BYO alcohol allowed in the festival field, as it is a licensed area. Anyone found in possession of BYO alcohol in the festival field may have their wristband removed, and be removed from site.  Underage drinking will result in the removal of the underage patron’s wristband, as well as the associated Guardian wristband, as per the festival’s Youth Policy.

Can I bring my dog to the festival?
Once you’ve considered the atmosphere of the festival, and feel confident that your dog can handle lots of people, lots of children, and non stop fiddle tunes, yes, your dog is welcome, so long as you keep the pup leashed and clean up after her/him.

Can I volunteer to help out?
You sure can, we’d love it! Volunteers work an average of 13 hours over the full weekend in exchange for their weekend ticket. Please register your interest on our Volunteer page!
