What to Bring
 The

shores of Lake Superior. Bring a friend, a lawn chair (low ones are best),
waterproof tarp, rain gear, warm clothes for the evening, a flashlight, bug
spray, sun screen, a hat, comfortable foot wear, a swim suit (there is a
community pool close to the site), reusable drinking cup and some cash with
which to purchase crafts, CDs, festival souvenirs, or some tasty treats from the
food booths.
Festival
Etiquette
- Bring your own lawn chairs, pillows,
blankets or tarps.
- Blankets and short lawn chairs make up the
front row seating. Tall lawn chairs must be placed in designated chair areas .
- Respect audience members who wish to remain
seated throughout the entire performance by standing at the back or along the
sides and dancing in the Designated Dance Area. A rush of the
stage threatens the safety and security of people and equipment. If necessary
the performance will be stopped at the discretion of the Festival Co-Chairs in
order to deal with possibly unsafe situations.
- NO pets, alcohol, drugs, glass, fireworks,
video cameras, tape recorders or ghetto blasters. Gate volunteers will check
the contents of all bags and coolers as the possession of these items on site
threaten the safety and security of people and equipment as well as the
Festival's liquor license for the Festival Pub.
For
People With Disabilities
- Guide dogs are allowed.
- Special needs parking is located on site -
let the volunteers at the gate know of your needs and they will direct you.
- Wheel chair accessible washroom facilities
are available.
- The grounds consist of open and uneven
fields so people in non-motorized wheelchairs may benefit from an attendant.
