Can I come and go at the Festival? Of course. When you arrive at the hotel, check in with your ticket and get your wristband. The wristband will be your pass to get into the show and any/all workshops and “jam with the band” experiences. Parking is FREE for guests registered under our DISCOUNTED BLUEGRASS RATE package, so come and go as you like.
Can kids come? We always encourage young people to come and enjoy the music. Kids 15 and under will be admitted free for GENERAL ADMISSION seating with their parent or guardian. All reserved seats are reserved for the ticket holder, so if you have reserved seats and want your kids to sit with you, they need reserved seat tickets as well. But your kids are welcome to sit with you in the general admission seating.
