Father's Day Festival Rules
We ask for your cooperation in abiding by the rules which are a necessary part of such a large event. The Board of Directors and the festival personnel have thought out these rules carefully and ask for your cooperation during your stay at the Fairgrounds.
Please read the following rules and regulations carefully, and give us your full cooperation. If everyone follows these simple guidelines, we can all enjoy our festival days together in harmony, and listen to some wonderful music!
DO NOT REMOVE YOUR ID BAND - Your ticket entitles you to enter the fairgrounds and participate in all musical performances on the date or dates covered by the ticket. Camping fees are included in all three and four-day tickets. You will be banded when your ticket is taken at the front gate. No replacements will be made unless you purchase another ticket. All festival attendees need to be banded. Security personnel will be checking for ID bands and will ask unbanded persons to leave the fairgrounds or purchase a ticket.
NO ALCOHOL or display of public drunkenness and disturbance is permitted in the audience area. Persons who interfere with the enjoyment of the rest of the audience will be asked to leave the area.
NO ILLEGAL DRUG USE will be permitted on the site. Anyone caught using illegal drugs will be required to leave the fairgrounds for the balance of the festival.
NO DUMPING TRASH ON THE GROUNDS - Help maintain the cleanliness of the grounds and restrooms. Deposit all trash in available bins and recyclable containers in appropriate bins. Do not move the trash barrels. If you need an additional container in your camping area, please ask one of the grounds crew or come to Festival Headquarters and ask for one.
