FAQ's

1.) I will be using an electric wheelchair. Is that a problem? Electric wheelchairs are allowed. The Grounds main area has sidewalks but uneven dirt trails do pose a challenge in the kingdom areas.

2.) What time does the Festival start? Gates are Open 10 AM. Ticket booth opens at 9:30 AM. Hours are subject to change.

3.) Will you have themed weekends? Our plan for 2023 is to have two themed weekends. But this year we have all our kingdoms present and open for your enjoyment.

4.) Can you pay at the gate? Yes but the line dose get busy, bring cash, as there are no ATM's on site, buying ahead of time online saves that hassle. Thank you for asking
